yeh, the bag on the back of yours, and the whale behind the tank on mine....

I can't reach top-speed at EC, the straight is too short, maybe a ride day at PI would do the trick ?

*sigh* wish I had an unrestricted 12.............

smitty's got one.... ask him all about it, he'll tell u ...

Mine goes fast enough to rip the rego label holder off one trip back from grafton...

And fast enough to rip the number plate off the next trip

My TL went fast enough to turn the back tyre an off white/light grey in the middle.. dunno how it happened but it was to do with the speed meantioned over a prolonged period of length.

All speedo read,
'06 ZX6R 270 indicated bounced off redline but geared 3 teeth up in the rear sprocket.
'06 ZX10R 295 indicated but a bit left in her.
'07 Aprilia SXV450 160 flat chat...
'06 KLX250 maybe 125 downhill.

Its not the spped that scary it when u jump on the brakes hard from high speed is what taked your beath away.

Had the 12 off the speedo. The speedo only reads up to 340km/h. It was on the dyno at the time

My mate, Nelsman, used to own a GPx750R. On the highway, he has done an indicated 255 Km/h and was still a good 2, 000 RPM under redline.

I suppose I have another couple of bikes that have also done reasonable speeds (for their age

)

Quickest on the Black Pearl is flat-out in top gear at Oran Park. With standard gearing of 15/35 being used at the time, the factory manual shows this gearing, and an RPM of 9,500 (beginning of redline) to equal a top-speed of bang-on 240kmh. Not bad for an old shitter built in 1980....

It was also good for 8,000rpm in top through Turn 1 at EC

roughly 200kmh

The baby Zed 750 (now reincarnated as the 750 MX'er), once pulled 210kmh on a ride home from the middle of NSW. It had a gearsack and soft-panniers fitted at the time

, but pulled to 500rpm under redline in top gear, with a poofteenth of throttle left to go.....it may have gotten another 10 or 20kmh without the touring shit on board.......this was from a bog-stock 1981 z750, it did have one of my *special* exhausts fitted at the time.....
