Big CC Racing is a motorcycle tuning company based in Wokingham, United Kingdom, specialising in custom turbo applications for Suzuki Hayabusa and other motorcycle models.[1] Sean Mills, the company owner and engineer, is known for building motorcycle engines with a power output of up to 1,000 hp (750 kW).[2]

In 2014, Sean Mills entered the Summer Nationals at Santa Pod Raceway with his Suzuki Hayabusa,[3] where he later set a record in the Competition Bike class in 2017.[4] From 2015 to 2020, Sean Mills made a name for himself in racing under 8.0 seconds.[5]

Big CC Racing creates high performance, but also supports sensible turbo systems for the road with technical knowledge.[6] Over the past few years, Sean Mills has developed turbocharged motorcycles ranging from 300 hp (220 kW) to 600 hp (450 kW)[7] and has put Zef Eisenberg's 350 hp (260 kW) machine on track at over 201.6 mph (324.4 km/h).[8]

Other achievements[edit]

Big CC Racing built a copy of the previously built 1,000 hp (750 kW) motorcycle Project Pisstake and presented a street-legal vehicle, a 1000 hp Hayabusa, with a speed of over 250 mph (400 km/h).[9] The same motorcycle reached top speeds of over 271.8 mph (437.4 km/h) over a distance of 400 metres in 2018[10] and 273.4 mph (440.0 km/h) in 2019.[11] Sean Mills may have built the fastest street legal Hayabusa in the world.[12]
