Re-Revised: Whos the Hoon?

[Dafe]

Hey Guys, I'm curious to know how fast everybody has taken their current bikes? Don't forget to give the speed, make & model.
I've done 240 on my SV1000S at the Manfield open day about three months back.
I'm gathering all the replies will relate to tracks and not open roads.

[Biff]

200 (ish) kph, sideways at Ruapuna last week. I don't recall whether I was still attached to the bike or not. Does this count?

[inlinefour]

was not be even...

[sAsLEX]

on a closed private road I got up to ..........

hold on a sec this sounds a bit shifty :shifty:

your not from the :shifty: government are you??

[Skyryder]

There's another thread on this very subject somewhere. Not many are saying much on this for obvious reasons.

100 k's the limit. Say nothing and nothing can be used against you.

[Dafe]

I would hope at 200KPH you were attached to the bike!!! Hows the bike now?

[Dafe]

True, But you can never take a comment as proof! A legitimate radar reading is required before any action could be taken.

[Waylander]

See, now you really do sound like a cop. Not that there is any shame in that but only the trouble seekers will post there info now.:msn-wink:

[jrandom]

Bah. Lightweights. I've done 350kph on the Zeal, blindfolded, with both hands tied to the exhaust headers and a full cup of Darjeeling balanced on my helmet.

[Waylander]

Ok in answere to you're revised question, I have yet to take the bike out on the track but hope to soon. Still, I doubt I could match the speeds of some of these other riders.

[Biff]

I would hope at 200KPH you were attached to the bike!!! Hows the bike now?

I don't think I was, and kinda glad I wasn't!
Bike is with the dealers and requires plenty of work. :angry2:

[Dafe]

Yeah I saw that over Easter Weekend! Wasn't that when you opened it up on the goattrack? You looked pretty fast humming down the Ngaraunga gorge too.

[Krusti]

I've got a piece of paper that says 150......Fastest I've ever been :whistle:

[Dafe]

Oh I see - Wipeout style! Probably best not to be attached in that case! I wouldn't want brake handles and footpegs sticking out from parts of my body either.

[Dafe]

150 Piece of Paper!!! Was that a loss a licence???

[Krusti]

150 Piece of Paper!!! Was that a loss a licence???

1 k off :2thumbsup

[Dafe]

Sweet... Hope you brought a lotto ticket after that one! I guess you wouldn't have been able to afford one after that.

[Sensei]

So Sunday was a dear day to go riding ! :angry2:
SENSEI

[Krusti]

Worst part was getting hit from behind every time we saw a white car or speed limit sign after that. Threatened to leave her on side of road after a while. Also does not help when she keeps telling me that she has never had a ticket!

:whocares: :lol:

[Dafe]

Sounds like a fine and healthy relationship you have there! Shame about the missus though!

[NC]

about 30 kms on the bmx

[Dafe]

Man, Just wait for this sucked southerly to swing to a galeforce northerly and then peddle as hard as you can down Ngauranga Gorge, I'm sure you'll get between 80 & 90kph. Thats gotta be abit more reasonable than 30kph. My grandmother does 40kph on her BMX and thats up the gorge!

[Krusti]

Sounds like a fine and healthy relationship you have there! Shame about the missus though!

No...she's a sweety....just cause her trike wouldn't go that fast:killingme

[vtec]

Hehe, I've been 220k/hr on a tl1000s, but it wasn't even mine. My mate had a 50cc scooter, was only supposed to go 50k/hr, but once you got it past 50 on a downhill it would get a second wind, hit a powerband of sorts and he managed to get it to 90 downhill lol speedo probably wasn't too accurate though. :ride:

[saiko]

Bah. Lightweights. I've done 350kph on the Zeal, blindfolded, with both hands tied to the exhaust headers and a full cup of Darjeeling balanced on my helmet.

Without milk, or sugar, .... or tea.

[madboy]

Given that we're talking strictly about race tracks and not about public roads, then I would have to say an indicated 260 coming out of the "lights" and braking way early before the "approaching intersection/cars" on the front straight of SH2 on the last dry trackday :whistle:

[StoneChucker]

in a land far, far away...
There was a boy, who owned a bike, this bike was "The One" for him. It's year was 2004. This fictional character once saw 292 on the speedo and knew that if he lost some fictional kilograms, oneday he would see 300+ (okay okay, 299, fecking speedo limit :angry2: ). The day he saw this, was all legal btw :Punk:

[**R1**]

270sumin down the straight at Ruapuna, and WT was still pulling away:angry2:

......then on the same corner as BB my bike was doing about 150kph.......IN THE AIR:cry:

[bugjuice]

:mega: 'scuse me, doesn't the thread say closed road/track, not open road? stop yer bitchin peeps, this is the legal stuff.

And I'm happy to post in this, over that other one which was the opposite of this. Go bitch about going to fast in the 'other' thread.

personally, I'm absolutly stoked to find the redline in 6th on the back of Puke last weekend.. 285kph (see the puke thread about it tho..)..
So now I have to look at gearing, cos it'll go faster, just need to mechanically adjust it, cos the limter won't allow the red, which I'm happy to let it stop me at. One thing tho, I can set the rev/shift light to be on at 16,500 (I think), when it reds at 16, and the limiter cuts in..

/rant. :niceone:

I've reached speedo indicated tops speeds of between 250-260kmph on my 600cc bikes last year at the Pukekohe race track.

When/if I take my new bike on the track this year I'll post here what top speeds I reach...should set a personal land speed record quite easily! :Punk:

wuss, push it harder! :shake:

[Zed]

wuss, push it harder! :shake:Hmmm, I was pushing it hard...that's partly why I struggle to grasp your magnificent 285km effort?? :whistle: You must fit that onboard camera next time!

[bugjuice]

Hmmm, I was pushing it hard...that's partly why I struggle to grasp your magnificent 285km effort?? :whistle:
wish I could have put the cam on the bike to prove it, but then the cam would be in the way of the tank upon which I rest me nuggin.. So might have to look at lipstick cams or something.. or just trust me word..

oo look, 1,000 posts.. I should really get a life.. tui.. :niceone:

[Zed]

... or just trust me word..

oo look, 1,000 posts.. I should really get a life.. tui.. :niceone:Pls don't get me wrong, it's your speedo I don't trust, your word isn't in question. :msn-wink:

Congrats on the nice flashing x btw. :niceone:

[bugjuice]

Congrats on the nice flashing x btw. :niceone:
actually, I am going to find out how much it'll cost to find out how accurate it is. Then I can really know for sure, but I also want to find out the calculation for various rear/front sprocket combos too. Bit of work involved, so might not. One bit at a time.. Anyone know who does calibration and how much it is? I'd rather not go past HP at 150 then see what the ticket says...

also, ta ;)

[Lou Girardin]

200 with the Bandit on a closed road with safety officials and medical assistance at hand. (Yeah Right)
Roll on in 5th, sitting upright.
215 - 220 on an '83 GPz750, top speed comparison with a Honda V4 750. (He lost)
Cages; 210 in a Ferrari Dino 246 and 220 in a '90 Honda Prelude.

About speedos; I use a bike computer which is accurate to within 1/2 km/h.
On Sunday a guy I was riding with was surprised at my contempt for speed limits.
His speedo was reading 120 - 125 when I was at 110.

[bungbung]

For some real world figures, here are the results from the East West Sprints from last year:

http://www.cdd.co.nz/sprint/EastWestSprintResultsNov2004.htm

My flying 1/4 was measured at 232km/h, my speedo was indicating around the 250km/h mark.

[Sensei]

286k sitting up down my race track , 302k lying flat on he tank coming back . Nice bit of road very smooth very straight !!
SENSEI :shifty:

[Motoracer]

I hate to tell you this BJ but When I was doing 1.05s Around Pukie at the Nats, I was clocked doing 246-247 max speed by the trasnponder so that is the *actual* speed I got up to. Mind you the gearing was a bit wrong and I was on the limiter when I was just past the kink, wasting seconds and possibly more top speed that I could have gotten out of the bike. Never mind though, that's another story...

[dveus]

I've been as fast as redline in top gear will allow me, though that isn't really much of an achievement on my bike.

not quite sure how to reply really. I understand what you're saying. Me mate who races a ZX10 was saying how he would pass 300 on the back straight and they're doing something around 58/59, so 30 odd k off (on average from 300) for the last bit of the straight (which isn't that far), and a dodgey hairpin would put times way off..
I'll get it calibrated to find out the diff, and will see about getting some straight-line testing done too, see what the speedo max's out at. Give me more of an idea..

[roo]

and a hell orange streak you were too as you swept past... from the pits, both the zx-6rs looked damned fast.
i could only squeeze 271 outa my 03 R6SR at just past the kink - that was up on the red in 6th, but with an extra 3 teeth on the rear sprocket it's dropped a few k's off the top end, and also put my speedo out by an estimated 7% *shrug*
I would really like to get hold of a radar for an arvo and have a play with different ratios to see just how much difference it makes.

[ManDownUnder]

250 (plus a bit) at Pukekohe...

I couldn't stop smiling for the rest fo the day...

I also had a lot of trouble keeping it under 120 on the Southern MW home...

damn it were fun though... must do it again sometime...

[ManDownUnder]

I have to say it'd be fun to officially arrange a long bit of straight road to be opened for just this - see what your bike tops out at.

Foxton Straights, Southern MW (Northbound from the foot of the bombays)... there are a couple of roads that I can think of - oiooo it'd be fun!

All the police out there - how would I set up something like that - what planning and permissions do I need to get?

You need to get to the East-West Sprints:

247 on one wheel.

Funnily enough, you were there Dafe. Welcome to the site buddy. (Better late than never)

I've seen redline in yop on my bike which another Gixxer 1K was timed at 296kph average on the flying quater.

I've been timed at 261 real on my old 600 which Wenier is the lucky owner of now.

oooo that sounds like me...

any nearer Auckland too?

Look mate, if I can ride to Auckland for a track day, you can bloody well come down 'ere for a Flying quater competition.

120ish

Not the smartest thing I've ever done, but it was rather DANGERous in a 50 ZONE:sweatdrop

Won't be doing that again anytime soon :p

[Insert mucho-smugness tinged with a feeling such a machine was wasted on my abilities]

276 at Phillip Island on McCoy's Red Bull Yamaha YZR500. I was crappin' myself I must say. The real riders were doing 310-320 in the same place. I was too scared :crybaby: to open the thing up properly in the corners.

[Keeper]

radered at 235kph about 150 meters before the hairpin turn 3 at queensland raceway, had my 600 up to an indicated 264 kph yesterday on a closed track somewhere near SH1

-> been to an indicated 270 kph on my old R1 but it didnt feel safe at all

->one time at band camp the police told me I was doing in excess of 160kph, but i consider it safe because it was a 110kph zone, and i had slowed down dramatically from the 250kph i sat on for the 20mins before i rolled off the gas

Ha ha, and all with no number plate.................


I seeeee you...... :msn-wink:

[PSYCHO]

I've been timed at 304.92kmh through a flying 1/4 on my 12.

Indicating 340 + kmh

[XP@]

Once upon a time in a land far far away where the distance is still measured in miles.

I borrowed a friends GSXR1100 and found a motorway (M62). I saw the speedo go past 190 passed a Reliant Robin. Then I slowed down. At the next services and removed the brown from my pants and vowed never again. On the way back home I didn't pass a Reliant Robin.

[Pwalo]

I managed to get 60mph out of an old (even then) Vespa SS150 back in (19)75. Now that was scary.

Everything else has been easy after that.

[Two Smoker]

I did 92 kmh on a CT110 one day...

I did 227.38 kph.

[inlinefour]

My bike is not quick enough to be considered a hoon? Speed tested at about 185km/hr, but normal velocity is more about 105km/h on the open road and a bit faster on most courners :msn-wink:

Ha ha, and all with no number plate.................

it is a sport model of the New Zealand license plate, lighter, faster and better handling...

I saw 78km/h on the clock of a FR50, and almost 50km/h on a FA50.

Lots of eye openers on that page.

Couple of standouts are me actually recording the time on Deanos SP1. 264 real, 293 on the clock.

Also amazing is the fact Tony Sampson can make a bike go 13kph faster than anyone else can make a comparible machine go.

I'm looking VERY forward to this years events as I reckon we'll see a couple of bikes through the 300kph barrier. :Punk:

dammit, do you think a turbo charged ZX6 could hit 300kph? i might have to move my plans forward

you'll have to change the gearing - I hit the limiter in 6th doing 285. So it'll have to be changed in the box and/or sprokets..

I too am looking forward to this years event...in fact I can't wait. I'm gonig to try to convince my brother in law to let me take his ZX9R this time.

I was happy with some of the bikes that I managed to beat in both the flying and standing.

I must say that this is a rather pointless thread, from the get go, the definition should have said...what's the fastest you've been and show us the god dam proof! The speedo reading really means nothing at those kind of speeds.
My speedo was up around the 270 mark from memory when I managed the 227.
