    Come on drivers! These speeds lead to crashes which means injury and death. You don't want to be that person and you don't want us turning up at your family home with that sort of bad news. Drive slower, please."
    Yeah, right! Did any of the drivers they caught actually crash? I think not or the idiots would be crowing from the rooftops about it.

    It takes less than 5 seconds to go from 100 to 200kph so that's not even trying.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    0-200 in less than 8sec.

    What a time to be alive!

    I want one just to own something that cool. I'd never get it out of second gear mind you....

    Well he is reportedly a "professional" so if he has finished paying off his student loan he could maybe afford an Audi or a Beemer. In which case he was only dawdling.

    Over 103kph, did he burst into flames...
    I did 240kmh north bound down the Bombay hills on my RZ500. Fully tapped, it didn't have another single kmh to give.

    Time and place....

    He should have tried to max it along SH38 off the Rotorua-Taupo highway to Murapara. 7 km straight part way down, big wide fire breaks and almost zero traffic

    All I can say is, live in Canterbury....7km straight is short, (laughs evil laugh....)

    Before I bought my Manx, way back....I took it for a run on the South Eyre. Saw 6900 in top. It wasn't till after i'd bought it I realised it came with IOM gearing.
    So that was somewhere round 140mph.
    Tested a few racebikes quicker than that since then...

    Hahaha! SH38 from Rainbow Mountain to Murapara is 38 km long and has no bends of consequence. The 7 km straight at the eastern end just means that you can get on with the job of maxing out nicely tucked in (so I was told a long time ago)
