You need to go 300 mph before you start setting your sights on 400 IMO. If they go 300 then folks will start to believe.

Triumph say they have a 1000bhp engine is this enough for 400mph?
Would have thought 2000 might be nearer the mark.

Depends on aerodynamics. If they're slippery enough, 1000hp might do it. I have no idea. I wish them well though.
