Hit 220kph 2 hours ago

[Big Dave]

Fantasy stuff.
Well over 200kph through the traps for me.
Ross tapped it right out. Sounded wicked.
Yummmmmm.

[imdying]

Cute boots :p

[nodrog]

goodshit. where can us mere mortals score a demo ride?

[MentalFacility]

Nice truck!

[Big Dave]

Call me 'lamb chop' and there will be trouble.

[Big Dave]

Good question - Ask Dave at Waikato Yamaheheheh.

[madbikeboy]

Nice looking ride...

For a bus.

[Ixion]

220kph 2 hours ago? And still trying to get the brakes to work, eh?

[Big Dave]

Very tidy on the open road too. Light steering and very long legs.

I'll write it up on the KR site SAP. Got ads to finish first.

What's the wind shear like at that speed on a naked bike guv'nor??

[SILVER SUZI]

Call me a dumbass (everyone else does):doh:, but I don't get it?
Was that terminal speed at a quarter mile or tapped out in first gear.
That bike must do more than that at top end.

[imdying]

So... would you buy one?

[nudemetalz]

Where's the youtube with the sound ?

Sorry - Was speaking a bit shorthand between processing pdfs.

I saw 200+kph on the clock at the 'around about' the gate. Plenty more with than that with rolling starts.

But I was more cautious on launching than the boss - who really tapped it out in all gears.


Wind shear has never really been an issue to my gorila-like self till way more than that.

[Big Dave]

So... would you buy one?

Personally nah - I like 'all roads' bikes and stuntability.

I do try and review bikes from the angle of someone who would buy the machine.

Not hard to understand why one would.

[Trumpess]

Nice bike! Nice arse! ;)

[Big Dave]

Nice arse! ;)

....bad eyes. Oh, the bike - not sure about that number plate assembly.

[slimjim]

too many pork an veg pie's.....lovely......


the bike i meant... lol

gee's man should've been leaning over that tank...boots hooked into the rear pegs...hand shifting ....

[Hitcher]

I get really fucked off by people who think that the V-Max is a crusier. Dickheads.

[NZsarge]

not sure about that number plate assembly.

Meh... I was just thinking it's the first number plate assembly i've seen in a while the I would'nt bother changing but each to his own...
I like the new V-Max but it's too expensive for this kid.

I reckon, it's gender confused if anything!

[98tls]

WAS having a read up on those things the other day,by all accounts a hell of a bike if your that way inclined and your pic was very apt big fella,nice.

[EJK]

Was it fast?

[Big Dave]

I just took off like I was at the traffic lights - road style - shifting 1,000 short of redline in all gears - and it read around 200kph at the quarter.

RM did the drag starts - but I was shooting stills.

From memory it runs low 9s @143mph . Need i say anymore:first:

[Wingnut]

V4 200HP - Hmmmmmm

Governed to 220kph though!

[jrandom]

Sweet.

What times did it actually run? Was the strip prepped, or was it a slippery fishtailing start?

[Big Dave]

Green as grass - all of it.

Strip was as we found it, Ross didn't want burn outs or smoke for KR - and the bike had 30Km on it - (Yamaha were there and approved) - in fact suggested we maybe try repeat the exercise when it loosens up after a thousand.

RM commented on breaking traction into second. I have ballast.

My best was a mid 10 - self timed.

Not sure on why they governed it , maybe to be politically correct as the original can do 160 mph in stock form .

Probably due to any dickhead with a bike license in the USA being able to buy one :shit:

US bike sites crack me up, questions like -"I am new to biking, do you think I could handle a GSXR1000 as a learner bike?...."

The aftermarket will remove the governor ASAP :innocent:

I hope to see one in the flesh (yep all of it!) as I may change my opinion when I see it with my own eyes. Presently I am very disappointed in its physical.

[Big Dave]

i did what?


How long ya got?

[The Pastor]

How long ya got?
all the time in the world mate

Was it fast?

Oi I'm serious. 0 to 220kph in 400 meters, is that fast? Is it as fast as a Hayabusa? I can't compare you see.
