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)

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.

Sounds like AAronKDX, lol

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.

Not sure? the speedo is driven off the gearbox so it cant be that far out? can it?

A kilometre isnt that far when ya moving at that kind of speed, granted ya would need a near perfectly still day(aye WT) but i fully think its doable

Actually 16.34254 seconds of erection required to equal the world record.

[madboy]

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

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.

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?)
