The North East,Prescott and fast laps with Chris Walker at Mallory

The New Fastest Electric Motorcycle Lap, With John McGuinness + Video

To put that in perspective, McGuinness’ teammate, Bruce Anstey, aboard a sister Mugen, set the outright lap record earlier this week aboard his Honda CBR1000RR superbike of over 132 mph.
