World’s Fastest Pizza Delivery? Kawasaki Z H2 vs. Triumph Rocket 3 | CTXP

Hi, I'm Zach Quartz and I have a question for you. Have you ever had a

pizza

delivered too fast? Don't be ridiculous, of course not. That's because

delivery

vehicles are slow and boring. Until now I am Mary Henning and today. CTXP We're taking takeout to the next level, that's right everyone, we're turning this Triumph Rocket 3 and that Kawasaki ZH2 into the

fastest

delivery

bikes in the

world

. We hope to think we haven't done it yet, but we are taking orders. Lucky me, I'm hungry for

pizza

, although yes, like most of our ideas, this one had the potential to change the

world

.

Could a pair of muscular motorcycles deliver pizza faster than the status quo sedan we had hired as volunteer delivery drivers? at a local pizzeria, but before going to work we had 24 hours and a rented airstrip to train for the real deal. First, we're going to do a drag race. We need to confirm that these bikes are fast.

zh2 with its 900 something cc engine its 900 something cc but it's supercharged i mean on the ride here we were talking like they were both off the line fast motorcycles but we don't know which one one is faster so we have a clue, we don't have anyone telling us to slow down, I mean yeah you know we have 163 pound-feet of torque, a 2.5 liter engine bigger than most cars and a low center of gravity, so you never know.

I don't know that's what we're going to do we're going to experiment actually you're ready to rock you know supercharger screeching that little ride you hear my uh little sedan oh boy I'm going to start it up hold on I'm going to turn my launch control on how they've the tables have turned now I'm sitting here waiting for you do you want to do all three two at once or how do you want to do this friend of course, I mean, we're comfortable within the confines of the honor system, of course, I'm sure you're ready, yeah, three , two, one, small racket, oh right, wow, that's pretty rushed, shit, yeah, the low center of gravity really helped.

I had to jump on you, you had the 0 to 60 time, no. I doubt it, it was exciting, let's do it again, better, two out of three, yeah, or three out of five, or something like that. I'm going to need you to make a mistake, supercharging your quarter mile run is amazing until you shut down. the launch control between raw power and grip clutch going off the line with the electronics disabled was a little more exciting than I would have liked, on the other hand the

rocket

shot off the line just as the name suggests , unfortunately it weighs 175 pounds more than the

kawasaki

and has about 35 horsepower meaning once the zh2 got going it was impossible to catch up, it seems like it caught me at the quarter mile y'all I'm sad to admit , but the rocket held firm, I mean the first one. up to 100 miles an hour up to third gear when I can actually open the throttle on this thing because otherwise it's like a herky turkey and doing wheelies and it's like I'm not going to say it gets small in the distance because something that big really doesn't drink in size practically delivering pies from intersection to intersection stop sign to stop sign very very fast the first two years, you know, confirmed then that these motorcycles are pretty fast, faster than the average delivery vehicle, oh yes, I would say now equipping them to deliver hot pizzas to hungry customers equipping our bikes for pizza delivery on the tarmac was a quick job because we had already spent too much time working on the details at home, I couldn't find a rear rack for the zh2, but luckily I found something for the h2sx that fit perfectly with the help of a saw and drill.

Once I screwed it together, I figured out a way to mount a classic insulated food box and voila, 197 horsepower of pizza carrying capacity. In other words, all the ingredients for a record-breaking delivery machine at the Quartz Research Lab, I went in a slightly different but just as obvious direction. Before I hit the tarmac, I had sewn a heated vest to the base of the bag. of magnetic tank with an elastic strap over the top for added security, that way the pies would be in front of me where I could keep an eye on them and they would receive cool heat from the elements on the vest and because the setup was so subtle I used a factory trump bar accessory to add some shine to the delivery vehicles rocket, it was time for phase two of testing, we have fast bikes, we have a way to transport cakes, but now we have to see if they can do it in The real world is in a hurry and for that we have devised a small obstacle course whose rules our man Spurgeon will explain very well, gentlemen, thank you.

I'm very happy to be here now. This is the exercise, people from the beginning. It's a couple of hundred meters of raw acceleration straight into a hard braking test, you hit those brakes too early, you'll lose time too late and you'll run over the dog and then we'll have to deal with the aspca. From there, it will be a fast and tight slalom, a dip into the U-turn zone followed by a section of wide corners and finally a sprint to the finish line, where the pizza must be delivered to this very hungry customer, Besides that. I'd just like to quickly add that I think you two are idiots, that's true, thanks, the purge couldn't say it myself, so time you, time me, sounds good, let's get to work there, go, good stuff, look ready, yes, we have a motorcycle ready we have a competitor ready let's go three two one put it on nice and gentle the customer wants a clean cake putting away the pizza he's jumping old style good technique I have to get the monster down come on now he's far away but I touched on the cone oh my god, oh my god, Zack will never be able to turn around here, I can't even turn around there, that boat is too bad for me because I don't think my bike has a better turning radius than his, hopefully. don't drive like that in the real world because this is a mess i have abs kicking dc kicking oh my god what a bad supercharger screeching coming to a stop, drop the bike, it's gone, drop the kai, here we go cakes done. the table look it's in good shape time one minute four seconds point four two that's the reference point all of that of course it's a damn disaster I almost hit the dog I threw cones I couldn't turn around in the box there's no way I can you're going to do, you should be allowed to go down the outside of the box because I like it to be completely closed, it was like no, we weren't going to make it, we weren't going to give much thought to the integrity of the cake, but it's in it's in quite a bit. good condition, as usual in filming, it's been sitting for a while, yes it's definitely not hot anymore, no, it's a pretty cold pizza which we all know is still delicious, but it's a cold piece, but the fat coagulated on it reality helps sustain. all together because there was extreme acceleration and breaking there I almost caught the sprocket the dog came very close, I guess I'm awake, you're ready to test your gear, you're ready, you've warmed up for all of Britain, okay, you want a three two. one, yeah, three, two, one, for all the glory, Zachary, hungry people waiting for pizza at the checkout, it's a little complicated, if I'm honest, rock strap for safety, safety strap, very important, hit it, man , that guy attacked the doctor, the dog, save the dog. save the dog slalom slalom I'm not going to do the box I'm not going to do the box new slalom keep it tight keep it tidy a little tidy we're going to have to ride the bed and listen we don't want to get arrested well well done sir very stimulating.

I have to say you burned about 20 seconds before even getting off the line. You're working with a 29-minute guy. You're going to have to be more agile than that if we want to change the paradigm of food delivery. I'm 25 seconds off the pace, uh, you know, my system isn't as slick as yours as far as getting the pizzas you're taking off the line in, in, out, it was pretty fast, it was impressive though, it came out a lot. smoke. Outside of the tire, I think we can say the pizza is in good shape, yeah, any high school kid I know in the Civic would have trouble keeping up with that pace, even with my, you know, having a hard time getting the pizza in there, So I think are you ready to change the world of pizza delivery with these high powered bikes?

Not ready to sign up for a real pizzeria and bring real pies to real people? State assembly in every city has its favorite pizzeria and in pismo beach California, that's Gino's Pizza with an efficient kitchen that prepares delicious pies. It seemed like all they needed to boost business was a little help on the distribution front. That's where we come in with our untested delivery method and some sweet ground effect LEDs, okay, so our delivery. The bikes have been tested, we're pretty much ready, but to see how our machines compare to the industry standard delivery method, we need to test ourselves against a real professional, that's where Trevor comes in.

Trevor is sporting an all-electric 2017 Chevy Bolt that has 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque, not to mention four and a half years of pizza delivery experience, it's extremely intimidating and made worse by the fact that he doesn't speak or blink as much as possible, so this is the deal we each make. we have five pizzas we have five addresses to deliver them to we have about 15 miles to go so whoever gets their pies first and gets back to gino's is clearly operating the

fastest

delivery vehicle in the world good luck and you sir okay trevor, be ready three two one get out, oh Jesus, that guy with his fat back tire, he's going to lose all the rubber, okay, everyone, we're going, good luck, buddy, good luck, not only was he in the fastest vehicle in the race, my first stop was around the corner, early and easy. leader for overloaded deliveries Hey man, got a pizza delivery from genos.

It was supposed to be for the reception. Yes, did his manager say anything to him about it? We are making pizza. No, what is the name of this hotel? This is motel 6. I'm in the wrong motel okay thanks anyway oh man I'm not good at this oh my god what an idiot. Kawasaki did a great job designing the zh2. Unfortunately, there is nothing anyone can do about the loose nut behind the handlebar. This is not like this. Everything's going well, oh my goodness, I managed to find the right hotel and get my first pizza delivered, but the confusion meant I'd have to unleash all of the cowi's 200 horsepower to make up for lost time, okay, one piece minus four to accomplish this.

The bike is so fast meanwhile on the delivery rocket I was having my own problems oh my god the fog is so bad you can barely see 240 240 240. I don't see any home number son of God did you get a call from kitty now. I'm looking for Susanna, I think she asked for an apartment with pizza. I got you, hello pizza, yeah, okay, oh, thank you so much, have a good night. I got a tip which is pretty good but it was a very inefficient first stop despite years of experience and a space. Trevor, the pizza hauler his age, was also hitting obstacles, we didn't know it at the time but the race was very close, my next race is quite far away so I have to point that out.

I'm also going to take this little one. A piece of tape here, I'm just going to put it over the speedometer. We're trying to be the fastest delivery bikes in the world, but we don't necessarily need to know how fast, considering we're on public roads, the pies were flying here. Riding the back of my bike and riding around the pismo on a pizza delivery mission was a fun way to experience the z. It has a wide, upright, ergonomic handlebar and a reasonable seat. It handles very well, plus it will throw your head back when you accelerate.

Abrupt throttle response at mediocre miles per gallon aren't ideal features for a delivery vehicle, but they're arguably a small price to pay to do so in a unique machine. This is where the rocket comes in with all this torque. right here, considering the bike weighs 700 pounds and basically has a winnebago tire on the back, the

triumph

really handles well, the low seat is really convenient around town, and even though it has traction control, you can turn it off, maybe The cold, wet weather reminded Rocket 3 of its British homeland, whatever the reason I loved the bike and it was a bit sad when it came time for my final delivery.

Hello, there you are, Tessa. Yeah, okay, there's a pizza. Thank you so much. Now we have to go back. to gino's pizza thank you very much I appreciate it have a good night you know this pizza has gotten oh my god it's telling me it's 14 minutes let's see if we can do better than that I don't know if this is the best way fast. delivering pizzas, but it's definitely the most fun, no need to look at the speedometer right now kids, justWe've got to get where we're going, it's just a friendly competition, I've got to beat Trevor, oh damn Bolt is here, damn it Trevor, damn it, oh how long have you been? here trevor 30 seconds literally put my bags away he said he's been here for 30 seconds it's experience and knowing how to navigate I'm telling you man 30 seconds 50.

Did you drive fast? Turns out pizza delivery is a lot harder than that. It seems like you saw it coming, but our seventeen thousand dollar supercharged naked bike and twenty-two thousand dollar giant muscle machine didn't change the world of delivery. Practically it makes a lot more sense to use a car or small motorcycle like they do. in many cities around the world, but we've never let practicality get in the way of having a good time, so if you're looking to spice up your delivery route and have, say, 20 grand, we can't help you. but I recommend something with two wheels and at least 150 horsepower I'm mary henning and today at revzilla I'm forgetting my line I'm mary henning and today I didn't make my Announcement voice I'm Arie Henning and we're taking takeout to the next level.

Sorry, I wasn't ready. I have no excuse. Anchovies and pineapple. Get out of here with that.
