Well, as long as a I have the Guinness Book of World Records out for the
post about (meta)human heights, I thought I'd post the land speed records
(for the guy who maybe made a supersonic motorcycle, mainly)

Fastest Car: 633.468 mph (~1019 kph) --Jet Engined

Fastest Track motorcycle: 186.4 mph (~300 kph) --Gasoline Engine

Hope this is of some help ... IMO the Guinness book (An up-to-date copy)
is a good reference for determining the practicality of R2 / RBB vehicles
:)
