Fastest Motorcycle Wheelie over 1 km
British daredevil Dave Rogers reached a record speed of 220.3 km/h (136.9 mph) while performing a motorcycle wheelie over a kilometre at Elvington airfield in Yorkshire, UK, on 28 October 2002. He smashed the previous record – set at the same track a year earlier – held by Christopher McInnes (UK), who reached a speed of 203.4 km/h (126.4 mph).

I was just curious what the fastest wheelie was and came accross this in the Guinness records from 2005....i have done well over 230kph on the back wheel and i know bikers that are fuckn good at wheelies. just duznt seem that hard to beat....

It's not hard to beat on occasion, but to do it on demand is.

What you'll also find is the wheelie speed would of been an average over the 1km track. And you'd probably have to do it in both directions.

I've seen 247 on the clock once but there's no fucken way it was a kilometer long at that pace.

I agree though, they're pussies.

You could smash them.

(Providing there were no left hand turns looming)

(Providing there were no left hand turns looming)The straight at ruapuna is 1100 meters, i know what ya saying tho, on the road ya have camber, wind, cages,.... on an airfeild tho i recon it would be easy....im not going to say what i have had the R1 up2 on the back wheel or i'll get the Top gun (cough) bullshit, but untill recently the highest was 244...

[madboy]

I've seen a certain nameless rider disappearing rapidly away from me on the back wheel while I was just a touch under the FZRs governor, which is 190... although as a certain nameless rider who may or may not be the certain nameless rider I was thinking of pointed out - it wasn't a kilometre long.

Given that I struggle to get it up full stop, let alone for a kilometre, I'm not qualified to debate this - but I reckon some riders here in controlled conditions of an airstrip would be able to give it a good crack.

An indicated 244 isn't close to a measured 244 though is it?

[Motu]

Yeah but we don't see their names in the Guiness Book o Records do we? If you wanna be famous you gotta get famous in the first place - no good SAYING how good you are..do it and get your name down,so down at the pub you can pull your 2006 GBOR and say...''that was me me...long long ago...''

[PSYCHO]

bungbung is right, indicated and actual are quite often two very different things.

[**R1**]

[madboy]

And at 247km/h WT would be required to remain erect for at least 14.5749 seconds.

[vifferman]

Not sure? the speedo is driven off the gearbox so it cant be that far out? can it?
Yup. It can.
Unless you've got a non-standard setup (larger diameter rear tyre, speedo adjuster, higher gearing) then it's at least 5% optomistic (designed that way), and more likely closer to 8-10% out.
So, at 5% out, 244 equates to 232 km/h, and at 10%, that's 221 km/h.

[White trash]

I'm actually keen for a shot at this.

There's a road over the wairarapa that they close twice a year for the flying quaters.

You could work it in with that, they've already got the timing gear.

Aaron: Ask Stone Chucker how accurate R1 gearbox driven speedos are, I think he saw 250 something on his first run, actual time, 230.

[vifferman]

And at 247km/h WT would be required to remain erect for at least 14.5749 seconds.
Bit of Viagra in the tank, and a bit more in Aaron, and it'd be no sweat (hardly long enough to break into a sweat, is it?)

Well that was a thread killer.

Good one. :niceone:

[PSYCHO]

Speedos can be off along way. It'd not unusual for the factory speedo to be off by 6,7,8,9,10%!! And then if you lower gearing (on a gearbox driven speedo) this will make the speedo read even more optimistic.
Aaron, how is your R1 geared? stock? down 1 in the front? up 2 on the rear?

I put a GPS on my mates 98 R1 a couple of years ago and his speedo was 11% fast. He was geared 1 down on the front and 1 down on the rear. He was most dissapointed after his speedo told him 288kmh, but in reality was around 260KMh.

Yeah im dead keen.(no pun intended) i was thinking of Wigram airbase its not used for planes anymore, and its dead flat and nice and long, i know my speedo is out(i dont think and R1 would do a genuine 313kph) but a mate on a gsxr1000 has followed me while doing a wheelie and clocked me at 235(my speedo read 241) but none the less i recon it can be done, and i guess while my bike looks like a hunk of shit its the best time to practice.

[vifferman]

My bike, when aroused, is capable of travelling at at least 2.3 times the speed of sound. :yes:

That one works all the time when you get pulled over for speeding!!! :whistle:

My "not quite as streamlined as a brick shit-house" 'lorry' has been timed at 131mph (go figure it out yourself).

[TonyB]

Aaron: Ask Stone Chucker how accurate R1 gearbox driven speedos are, I think he saw 250 something on his first run, actual time, 230.
Too true- I've got a mag that did Dyno runs on all of the 04 1000's. While riders were seeing 299kph on the R1's speedo, the dyno told a different story- it was only geared to do 280.





Mind you, they might not have dynoed it in top gear

As I no longer get off on stunts, I'll be impressed from them all. If someone here should be keen to try, I'd like to watch... :niceone:

No no - been posting randomly - didn't have net for a while with the new house.....too slack hooking it up.

Was actually back there the next day on two wheels - great ride!

ummm I might be wrong here but I think hes talking bout his 1955 Ford F100 truck so it was most likely on both its back wheels :ride:

[gav]

Or he had the Harley in the back of his truck?

[StoneChucker]

One friggin minute...
WT, you saw THAT speed over the flying quarters because you weigh less than a fantail queef. Most 04 1K's are pretty equal, with all things being equal.

However, after riding your bike I do feel that some have the edge over others, and I can admit your's probably does.

[Coldkiwi]

WT, when they close the wairarapa road, can you go flat tack in both directions or just one?

[scumdog]

ummm I might be wrong here but I think hes talking bout his 1955 Ford F100 truck so it was most likely on both its back wheels :ride:

Very astute observation Mr D. - and I was too shit scared to worry how many wheels were still on the ground, just thankful to have the F100 still facing the direction I wanted it to go in! :shit: (After all it WAS designed for a top speed of about 130kph....).

LOL... ahhh yeah, kinda like a upside down maxium displacement hull isent it :confused: but as she sits in the weeds there must be some wicked ground affect suction type thing going on there....... like a F1 car :cool: and besides......... the wheelie bars arnt just for show now are they :whistle:

HEY R1AARON..... did ya hear that, Scummy's got wheelie bars, that must turn ya on aye.... reckon it could out do the R1... and SD can even stand up, well if he pocked his head out the sun roof he could. :lol:

Only one but in the interests of a world record attempt, they'd probably let you go both.

The sun-roof thing was one of my bigger worries - the faster I went the more it bulged upwards! (Had visions of it blowing out and getting sucked out through the resulting hole kinda like those airline disaster movies!!).

Note the wear on the wheelie-bar wheels, they get "whittled-down" pretty quick during a day at the drags.

I should let Aaron fit one of my street 305 X 15" tyres to his R1 - NO traction problems then!!
Still smoke 'em up easy with the F100 and no, I'm not the kind of plonker that needs the front brakes on to get a skid going, just use the gobs of torque the truck has :2thumbsup

Let me get this straight.

You can't handle a beer AND a skid in the truck? Obviously not at the same time, but *one beer*? And a skid?

Ah fuck it, I'll bring me own beer, a quick "wheels up" pass down the main street will suffice.

I SEEN A VIDEO OF A TURBO BUSA PULLIN THEM UP AT 280 PLUS THEN HOLDING THEM TILL 340 OR SO, NOT AT BALANCE POINT JUST UNDER POWER, YIKES

[MSTRS]

There is a vid out there of a busa with the view thru the front screen that shows the speedo/rev dials at the bottom of the picture. The rider moves off, lifts the front wheel so's all you can see is sky (& dials). Speedo tops out at 320ish before the front drops to give you a look at the road again.
