2 strokes

... they were the days..
I had a IT465 with a YZ465 top end... A YZ with a wide ratio box..
I chickened out at 155kph

..IT just not designed for those speeds..

I had a KTM 250 EXC (1984) with a Wide ratio box that was just getting on the pipe at 100kph and on a forest road in Riverhead in a terrain test, caught, passed and blew an IT490 into the weeds. Man was he surprised at the end of the terrain test. No I wasnt looking at speedo !!
Ahh those were the days

I was seated at the time....

I got a GPS reading of 153km/h on the 2010 MMMMM first section forestry trails on my 950ADV.

I was standing at the time and it was like being on a cushion of air, I thought I was only doing about 100.

open road, that's good...But for Oscar in a 50kph area? look out.....No wonder DOC get reports of blaggarts and terrorists in the Valley...geez! That is the required limit through the Molesworth right?
