You guys do 158khp at your track I hear so you won't have to worry at Taumarunui.

Grandmas full of shit.

Best I could do on the delta was about 23,000rpm on the second time round the rev counter. 23,000 rpm = 170-180kmh :whistle:

Fast straight and very fast banking sweeper. You could gear up a tooth on the front sprocket. I'm going to leave mine as is and see how we go practice day.

Going anti clockwise ( which we probably won't) would definately be worth the extra tooth.

yea brakes only slow you down, might just take th calipers, disks and master cylinder off and save a bit of weight

You take the intake valve out of the Delta so it was freer revving? :lol:

158kph at Pukekohe, 117 at Taupo and my regular speed anti clockwise at Mt Wellington is 86 and I have seen 94 recorded on the same bike by an "A" rider. Shows you what carying corner speed does for top end. Speeds recorded using a Cat Eye Velo5 cycle speedo that displays the max speed and set to the correct rolling diameter of the wheel.

How accurate are these cycle speedo's anyway? :mellow:

Mine showed me 297kph at Taupo on my bucket so I'd say pretty good. :rofl:

What I said was true. The AX1R showed 297kph on the speedo. At Slipway the same speedo show 72kph max. Same setup.

[Buckets4Me]

same setup but with an extra magnet

:shutup:

[Buckets4Me]

so dose anyone use a stop watch and time themself around the track
I want to compair speeds
see if I need to worry about lapping you at taupo
thats all :scooter:

297 isn't too bad. I got clocked at 312 but that was at Puke. No , , wait, that was the turbo. Both bikes are black and I do keep getting them mixed up.

Only one of them, other wise I'd loose too much compression :crazy:

Which track u talkin about mate.

I think Taupo short track is about 2 mins, I'm sure someone will have a better idea.

I have never put a stopwatch to Taumarunui, It's a bit shorter than Mt Welly I'd guess around the 25 second mark

[Buckets4Me]

ok thanks

gives me an idear on what to expect

You could always take a look at the videos of bucket racing at Taumaranui on YouTube.
