my mate wee jimmy took my gixxer for a long burn on sunday. he managed to hit 164mph and apparently it feels damn good and theres plenty more left in her unfortunately jimmy had to slow for a roundabout but sure he'll have another shot at it soon cos he wants to crack 170

i dont condone this at all and of course i never go above the 70mph speed limit officer

chop

 

at that sort of speed you really need you wits about you and i too dont condone it at all
but
last summer i had my Mv up to 165mph but it kept hitting rev limiter and back firing/ignigtion cutting out, i try to break this speed 3 times and every time it did excatly the same.
it wasnt until a bit further down the road i realised i wasnt in 6th gear
never mind
thanks
oriont

 

do you know how 's work? lol

so how fast does the MV go with 6th gear?

 

Am disgusted with you both, there is no need for speeds like that...

 

Jimmy is a naughty naughty boy





Im sure jimmy will crack 170 this summer though

Be careful out there little jimmy because you could have someones eye out at that speed

 

in top it will do an indicated 175mph on the clock
up to that speed it does still feel to be acceralting. but i loose the bottle to hang on.
thanks
oriont

 

these speeds are dreadfull,you should be ashamed of yourselves!!!

when i had my busa,i wasnt doing 220 on the clock,and it wasnt in this country either,

the bigger the bike ,the heavier it is!

 

its all good fun boys

in fact im gonna take mr doctors bike for a 180 run next week i reckon

 

its a fact ,you can carry a lot more speed on a goldwing!

 

my r1 turbo wauldnt go over 180 it went a bit light and unsure of its self on boost 370 bhp saw to that

 

chuffin ell that must be fast!!!

is it at all possible to keep the front down?! or do you pull away in 6th?

 

horible horible bike to ride wish id kept the gsxr 1000 the r1 has roller bearing turbo exturnall wast gate k+n fillter mapable management most of the internals are titanium boost hits at about 8500rpm no ehausts just two small pipes one exhaust and one wast gate . im a member of the cleveland rsoc and at last meet the chareman held up a picture of the white 200mph saf and asked if any one could beet it and started laughing but he soon stoped when i put my hand up and told about my bike the only good thing about it is the nois that it makes

 

Chop,
Am expecting a reply on here with a new top speed.......

 

207 mph mates 12r this week end

 

yeh right....

 

ill video it next time . in fact get your self down we can go for the 2 up record oh and iv been riding since i was three and i own a bike breakers

 

sure.... some motogp teams can just barely reach 207 and you do it by sticking a few old bikes together..... sure......

 

formula 1 cars reach 200 but so can a saph cos. besides 12r,s arnt race bikes thay are for straight lines same as busas and thay do it verry well

 

I know someone who had an indicated 320kph (200mph) on a lightly tuned Hayabusa one cold, sunny morning.

I'm not daft enough to think the Hayabusa was really doing 200mph but it certainly was shifting

 

ive seen 174 on the clock of my mv senna(still a few revs left), still could not shake of a m8 on zxr9 thou, and my m8 advised me last month that the limiter in my m3 did not work when it shot past 165...
is all good fun , but just be carefull folks!!

 

you're senna is a beautiful bike John and the reg is fantastic

saw her at the rs day well i presume that was yours.


chop

 

hey thanks chop, it was mine, dont ride it enuf that for sure, but it was clean that day, only gets cleaned once a year, knockhill this w/end weather permitting.

cheers
john

 

pah! get yourself a zx-10R..

I've had mine to 172mph off the limiter... in 4th gear!

They hit the 186mph speed limiter in 5th (before the rev limiter) and you've got another gear to go. Christ knows what they read de-limited.

I know bike speedo's massively overread though before anyone starts

There's a video on dumpalink of a guy hitting the 186mph speed limiter in 5th on a zx-10r too

 

aye the quaks are faster but more common, as seen at knockhill yesterday!

 

10r,s are mint thay only way 3kg more than the 600 and thay are so ridable

 

Well not as fast as some of u
but just hit 146mph on me ZX-10R that was the limiter in 4th lost me bottle then

 

I managed an indicated 165+ down the Mulsanne straight @ Lemans on the way back from Spain Moto Gp on my luggaged up SRAD 750 bless it, took ages for me to focus on speedo needle and had backed off too, traffic comes up quick at those speeds. Irresponsible but fun.

 

Mine is a pathetic 130 on my iccle 600 bandit. Gets a bit windy with no plastic at that speed though lol. Jacko nice to know there is an r1 turbo in the area.

 

had my zx6r to 160 on clock but it has been tested to 168 on the rr which was 180 plus on clock

 

RR-5 Blade. 186mph on the speedo and it stops going up. Revs keep rising though! Methinks Mr.Honda has pulled a bit of a sneaky one with the 300Km/h limit!

Matt

 

i had my gixxer up to 160mph on rs gus's back wheel the other night.........
was a top buz cant wait to get a gixxer 1000

 

My tl1000r hits a brick wall at 170 on the clock , Has a smaller engine sprocket than standard , with the standard one it wouldnt pull past 165

i estimate the true speed to be anywhere between 155 and 160 .

PS that was on track so no naughty boy replys

 

craig you not long passed test no? if no i dont recommend a 1000. its silly. ive got a 750 and had my mates 1000 on loan and far prefer my bike.yeah the 1k gives ya a huge rush on acceleration but boy is it scary!especially for a newbie!i prefer the wide rev range of the 750
i think best of both worlds is a full system on a 750 and a power commander to make similar bhp to the 1k and you still got lotsa revs

i never understand why people feel they HAVE to have biggest bike possible.doesnt always mean its the best choice

up to you though


chop

ps your 6 is lovely!gixxers rule!

 

some good speed there peeps

I've had mine indicating 176mph on a 2 mile runway

 

im with chop ,

Youll be a lot quicker and smoother / confident on a 750 , my mate can realy ride a bike but is slower on his GSXR1000 than his old tl1000

 

yep bigger bike dont mean your any quicker, infact i know i'm alot faster on my 600RR than i ever was on my GSXR750.
I wanted the new 1000RR but didnt see the point when i know i cant yet ride my 600RR to its maximum potential and i wonder how many people really can?
I dont doubt theres alot of riders on bigger bikes that couldnt catch a 600 that was really riden to its potential - untill the straights lol

 

jb
you're right a 600 on the road can easily match a bigger bike!i was out with a few mates today and was out a couple weeks ago.i find that my mates on the 6's can go flat out everywhere and be very hard to catch at times even on my 750 because im being more careful!they dont have to worry so much about the front lifting and can nail the throttle open all the time!
im sorry but cant think of anythin worse than havin a 1000cc bike!

chop

 

people ive only just passed my test i no but i have been riding bikes for years so i do agree with you and i'm gunna buy a gixxer 750 at some point probably next year now. chop m8 i agree totaly and big isnt always best

 

good man

 

ive just sold the 6r and bought a zx636 b1h and i fookin love it wheelies even with a fat bastard like me on it on the power in first 2
