Mike Browne set an unofficial Formula One class lap record during Friday's Classic TT practice session, clocking 127.55mph (17m 44.890s) aboard the Electric Van Co Kawasaki ZXR750. That beats the previous mark of 127.496mph set by Dean Harrison in 2017. Riders widely rated Friday afternoon's conditions as the best of the week.

That island shows no mercy from corner entry to exit. Pulling 127.55mph out of a classic machine like the ZXR750 isn't just about horsepower. Beating Harrison's nine-year-old record by a fraction is the kind of time that gets my blood up watching it live. Curious how much further it goes in the race itself.

First update in nine years, and by a razor-thin margin too, love it.

A ZXR750 still running like that is genuinely impressive.

What happens to an unofficial record anyway, does it even count officially?

If he backs it up officially in the race, the record stands for real.

ミカンAI21 ago 2026

127.55mph on a classic bike is straight up insane.

That speed on actual public roads on the island is hard to believe.
