FYI. The FASTEST NAKED bike in the World (Bill Warner 246.6 MPH) uses a 240 tire on a 8.5 rim. Yeah, it doesn't go around corners too well but at that speed what would. It will be racing at the Texas Mile this weekend with bodywork, should be interesting. LSL
and just what tire is he running? because nobody makes a 240 with a rubber compound that will hook up. we've already experienced that battle with the m109r.

Bill Warner 
Pirelli Z-rated tire. This pic is at max. speed in the traps. If you are not impressed, then you just don't understand the difficulty. LSL

Very Cool Bill!
I am extremely impressed, as I realise how difficult it is to get top speed on a N/A zx14...
with fairing...
Once I saw 270 km/hr ~ 160 mph on my old gsxr1100 with no fairing... wow massive windblast
GPS of 201 was my fastest... no LSR events in Canada....
Aerodynamic drag coefficient increases at an exponential rate .... to cut the atmosphere at 246 mph unfaired is uncomprehensable for most.
Just as an example ... when they designed the bugatti veyron in the wind tunnel, it required 250 hp to hit 250 kmph.... required and another 750 hp to get 400 kmph....
