Ducati GP16 has exceeded the magic 220 mph mark in this Sunday's Italian Grand Prix at Mugello circuit.
Ducati MotoGP bikes have been praised for high power for the past two years, and if any 2016 bike was going to break the 220 mph barrier, it had to be the red one.
It's not only Ducati bikes that have excelled at the speed-traps. Andrea Iannone, Ducati factory rider, was the man responsible for most of these top-speed records.
The latest 354.9 kph record seems even more impressive when compared to GT3 cars, which can only reach up to 270 kph on the same Mugello start-finish straight.
If you think motorcycles are only good for straight line acceleration, you will be surprised, because laptimes of 2016 MotoGP bikes are comparable to GT3 cars, despite all the extra rubber and downforce that only four-wheeled racing machines can have.
