Motorcycles, I did come across a You tube showing three runs on
what looked like an air strip. Average of three runs was 287 KPH
according to the speedometer, or about 179 MPH. 264 MPH would be about
425 KPH.

If you went 264 MPH in any motorcycle that anyone might ever call a Ninja,
congratulations, you are a world record holder. Any motorcycle that ever
went that fast had a completely enclosed cockpit. Your description of your
ride made clear that was not the case. This is what this type of bike would
look like:
