Just another hot chick or a record breaker? Why not both?

This record earned Leslie inclusion into the prestegious Bonneville 200 MPH Club/ Leslie became the first woman to enter the 200 MPH Club on a conventional motorcycle in the 60 plus year history of Bonneville Land Speed Record racing To make it more impressive, Leslie ran a motorcycle without a fairing or aerodynamic aid in front of the rider.

Her 2003 Suzuki Hayabusa features:

  • Apex Plug & Play ECU for Suzuki Hayabusas
  • AIM MXL Pista dash and data logger.
  • AIM LCU-ONE lambda kit.
  • AIM GPS System.

    "I am looking forward to being on the show to talk about the trends in the motorcycling with women. When I started riding motorcycles 16 years ago it was pretty lonely out there for female motorcyclists. Today women are one of the fastest growing segments in the motorcycle market and I believe this trend will continue to have a very positive impact on future motorcycle sales," commented Porterfield.
