Is that ALL??? (Hell, I do that around corners!)

hahaha, 1st gear for me.

hmm ive seen..
265 on zx6r (99)
275 on vtr1000 (01)
288 on cbr929 (00)
thats the indicated speed as per the speedo...
all runs were done on country freeways....
i genereally find 160-180 comfy scootin speed, over 200 i get a bit nervous of wot gunna happen....
i saw 240 at mallala & that was comfortable & hassle free!!

The first time I hit 200km/h I rejoiced for days...
A few weeks later I went for a ride and was sitting between 150 - 180km/h all day...

Lots fast.

FAWK!!!

Rev limiter....... That'd be around about your 300 mark. Nice one man!

no way 300 on a zx7r. i'd say around 265-275.

i did 180km/h on the western highway for a few seconds between melton and bacchus marsh and then my mate told me that there might be camera's around that area and thats why he was only doing 110km/h.

This happened last thursday on my way to the gor. So i'll let u'z know if there are any speed camera's from melton to bacchus marsh on the western highway.

good bye licence..... hope not.

What's BMW got to do with it?

Ive seen 270kph on my zx7 with about 1000rpm to go.

I did 250km/h on my 96 zx6r. its got some tastey mods on it so i was impressed. generally i try not too speed but its hard and i only have 2 points on my licence so i figure whats 10k's over i'll loose my licence anyway, why not make it worth it.
Been flashed several times by speed cameras but they were from the front hehehehe, i love my zx6.

Yeah I reckon that’s a fake pic, it would be vibrating too much to get a clear shot anyway even with a good camera mounting.
I kinda know because when I had my ZZR1200 at 265kmh I stopped looking at the speedo because my eyes were loosing vision with the buffeting around and vibrations, the engine in this bike is suppose to be smooth too. however I opened it a bit further and it still had plenty left in her though and if I had a bit more road maybe I would have had the balls to get to 300 and actually look at the speedo
I tell you that was a rush, however I regularly change into top at 180+ blasting past a dozen cars on the open road when they are all to piss-weak to have a go or just for a quick squirt to get my adrenalin going.
But I think I will save 300kmh for when I eventually get to a track day, and I have got to slow down, cops shoot when ya do those speeds. just as well for the kevlar plates in my jacket .

Anyone else see the news tonight? apparently someone on a bike got pinged for 235. I guess he'll be restricted to track days for a while.
