How fast did Troy have to go to beat Kyle Wyman’s record?

According to the press release (published by Roadracing World), Troy blasted around the 3.51-mile circuit at a blistering 183.9 miles per hour, putting his S&S Indian Challenger to a time of 1:50.017. 

The time beats that of Kyle Wyman, who clocked his own circuit streak last year at 1:50.563. This year, Wyman may not have beaten his own record, but he still placed second, holding an impressive tempo just under his personal best at 1:50.197.

Unfortunately, Herfoss’s speed success was cut shortly afterward due to a technical problem that forced him to roll off the circuit; still, we have a new bagger speed record for our favorite KOTB racers to play around with in the coming months!

What do you think about Herfoss landing a new bagger lap record?
