on the zzr600 i've seen 235kph indicated....pretty steady at that speed
on the zx7r i've had her up to 260kph indicated and that was fuggin scary with a bit of cross wind. At QR i had her upto 210kph on the main straight and 190kph on the back before i shit myself, i think that i'd be a little faster now as that was after i only had the bike for three months.

I try to be as sensible as i can but every time i go out of town on a run i like to run the bike upto 200+ just to let them know who is boss

its not the speed that will kill rather the deceleration trauma at the end

Don't be a girl Sean........back straight QR can easily do 220-230

(j/k mate).Maybe i brake later than others(dunno) usually round the 150 mark b4 turn 3.
Apparently my bike does about 250ish(perhaps a tad more) with +3 on back(sprocket) and a black zx12r makes this look slow :shock:

allegedly. No accusations or condoning speeding on public roads. :wink:

I would hate to be called a hoon or tagged a "boy racer".

My Honda VTR250 did 140km somewhere between here and Walcha on the way to the Oxley (screaming it was!) while everyone else just "cruised" past me.

As for my new baby ..... ummmm, as one magazine put as top speed:

"Crikey!!"

About 118 kms per hour is all mine can do.

At 4,000 rpm.

Might be able to go faster when it's run in :shock:

It might go faster if you don't 'run it in' :idea:

Saw an indicated 275 on my ZZR1100D1 many years ago.

At the Easter 2000 meeting at Bathurst, I calculated my ZXR750 was doing somewhere in the region of 290 down Conrod (tried following the fast guys like Curtain, and tipped into the Chase at around 250 ; survived the experience without coming off, but I don't think I've ever been that scared before or since on a bike).

Cheers,
Brian

Try 2nd gear mate, it will go faster believe me :wink:

ZZR1200 um can't remember but 2 black zx12r's might be able to remind me.
ZX12R they say speed limited to 300kmph, I believe them :wink:

He he he I have on my ZX12. 290 in 5th and still pulling. Backed off cause she started to get air under her and a bike starting to move around at this speed got a little disconcerting. :shock:

So I'm not sure whether it is speed limited but it's plenty fast for me :twisted:

I think my shift light comes on @ 14000 & in 5th I can get about 250ish indicated on my 03 636.
