Follow for updates.
We are sponsoring this project.
Sparks are proud to supply Rock Oil products and welding and fabrication for this Guinness world record attempt.
There are some mad modifications to this machine, he told us yesterday it's running 260ish bhp at it lowest setting. The guy attempting the record and riding the bike is paralysed from the waist down.
Here's a bit about him and what he does.
We're back at it after a season away and excited to launch our new project for 2026.
We will be running two modified Suzuki Hayabusa's in a variety of Santa Pod and Straightliners - The Home Of Speed events throughout the summer at eighth mile, quarter mile and standing mile distances in preparation for an attempt at Speed Week in September on the outright disabled motorcycle land speed record with British Paralympian and owner of The Bike Experience, Talan Skeels-Piggins.
What Talan has achieved since becoming paralysed from the chest down in a bike accident is quite incredible, including - Olympic Archery, Downhill Skiing, Sailing, Motorcycle racing, coaching and mentoring as well as a long list of academic achievements.
We're inspired by his skill and extreme determination to achieve anything he sets his mind to and, as a team, have committed to helping him fulfil his goal of exceeding 200mph....
We are fortunate to have the support of some great companies already and look forward to representing them all proudly throughout the year.
A huge thank you to:
