    At that speed, youd not have much chance to see any details.

    description 'fast and loud' probably aint gunna help.

    Ive always figured I could outrun a squad car piece of piss, but you can't outrun radio - guess the got lucky there werent any available units further up the road to sit and wait for them.

    It said a pair of motorcyclists right? Shit Cassina will be very worried about the pressure placed on the second rider to keep up - be a lot of pressure too, given that its the slow one who gets the ticket

    why weren't there cameras in the cop car, pretty easy to do, and they say a picture is worth a thousand words.

    To be fair, 247 is closer to 200 than 300 :/

    I've heard good things about those GN250s once the lam limiters are removed.

    love it!...... change down three times at about 200 km hr......SH2 bypasses the metropolis of Upper Hutt.In the old days SH2 went right up Fergusson Drive and bypassed the city centre by less than 50 Metres,every trip up the takas meant going through(and back) Upper Hutt.

    Tried some 98 octane in the HD - went for a spin and it did 300.

    Is the article racist pointing out the motorcycles were Japanese ......

    Reckon the 300 plus was a estimates as the clocked speed was 247 (or something) and they accelerated away.
