They are not. MPS is a partial streamliner class where MP is a "open" class with no streamlining. Current record is 138MPH for 750cc MP-PG and 137 for MP-PF according to the 2025 handbook.

It's been going kinda slow. Not alot to do other than work out trailer, tuning options, and getting a race suit. I'm working on getting time and a dyno in the next month or so. That's been more challenging since there's not alot of dynos in my area that do bikes. In the meantime I've been taking out for some short runs on the local straightaway breaking it in and tuning what I can by feel. So far it all feels pretty solid all the way to 7k RPM. Don't have enough room to get it past 3rd-4th gear but it pulls like mad all the way through.

Wish I had a local straightaway. All I have around here is a speeding ticket waiting to happen.

I feel ya on the dyno operators. The young men running them on motorcycles near me are not accustomed to turning the throttle on engines that don't wind up to 11K or more. Would be a bad expensive day if they blew up my engine and charged me $225US to do it. They are not responsible for anything. I'm just going to stick with seat of the pants tuning.
