I love hearing about people who just up the boost with no apparant consideration ;)



So, what happened Phil? to much redlining and not enough oil?

. I think that straight line speed is very over rated , The hype that surounds it is mostly generated by members of the press . the real thrills are to be found when cornering . Here the outright speed around your favorite corner or roundabout is irelivent . Its more to do with the feeling you get entering and exiting . the trouble with speed /high speed is its an evil that needs and demands respect . i think of it like abusing alcohol , binge on speed and you will be sick . lol . The reality of top speed ive found is it pumps adrenilin up too 100ish then doesnt feel that gr8 untill ,170 +. 190 . At this speed it get harder to take the information into your brain of what your seeing ahead and a sort of tunneling effect starts to form at 195mph or 200mph plus is just insane due to the fact things around you start to look like a wheel spinning that fast that it looks like its solid rim not spokes . hedges and houses blend into green lines with dots on . and the road looks as if its moving left and right ahead of you like a huge gray ribbon blowing in the wind . :shock: for the math heads on the site do the maths on this . 200mph how long will it take you to travel 300 yards . the amount of notice your given for a turn off on a motorway ?????not that ive ever used an open road to do this sort of speed you understand . :angel12:

Yeah i understand what your saying

I cant do the whole cornering knee to the floor thing:(


I'm new to biking, well, a year and a bit, but only 1 month on a bigger bike.


At the minute i only slightly lean over haha, get the fear of the bike falling on its side and ruining my nice scratch free fearing:P


My mate goes round corners on his SRAD gsxr scraping his knees on the floor, sparks come off and everything haha, wheels literally on the side. but me, i pritty much turn haha.


I'd love to be taught how to do that. so cool!


p.s. came back from swimming an hour ago, LOOOOOOONG open road, straight for 3-4mile, tucked my head under the screen and opened up ;) what a GREAT feeling.


Hit 142 before i slowed down =p


going round nice curvey turns in the road over 120/130 feels so great :D

Is his a turbo version as well!?? :shock:


419kmh is about 250mph if my schooling wasn't totally wasted!


I'd be surprised if that bike was going that fast on the vid! But, I've been surprised before! :cheers:

ive worked it out , tho im not sure its correct but here goes . when traveling at 200mph on a motorway and you see a your turn off is ahead . you see the turn off ahead and when you pass the first countdown marker 300 yds ......... you will have 0;3.263 of a sec to shut off and hit the brakes or youve gone right passed . lol . hows that for insane !!!!!!

Hit 70 today whilst training on a CG. Fastest i've been before. :-P


Quite different to the smooth ride I get out of my scooter, goes fast up to 55mph, then crawls on. Flashing images of an accident happening were in my mind, but I quashed them soon enough. :-)

Driving I'v only done like 20.. I haven't even done my cbt yet lol



But I remember a year or 2 ago when I went to visit relatives in Italy and my moms moms brothers son took me for a ride on his BMW something and was going about 100 :D



I was shit scared lol first time on the back of a bike and I was like 13..

Nearly 80 mph ... on my 125, with my chest flat against the tank, the needle on the redline and the speedo just *inching* towards the top of the dial (80 mph), with me saying "come on! come on! come on!" :lol:
