    Avg, and I know Im proberbly wrong is 100kph.

    I know they have the capability to hit 200kph tho. CBRs are good for getting away down driveways ect

    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Mate I will go out and buy you a blue trailer tarp from the warehouse for you...
    Do you have any bungy cords at home?
    If not I will go to the $2 shop and buy some....

    The girl must have a raincoat to keep her nice an dry overnight.

    He can throw a blanket in between the tarp and bike...

    I have some thin rope that can be used to help tie it down as well.... rather than bungy's... unless the lad has some bungy's at home.

    No you can't and don't think of it. Unless you have a 600+ cc bike and can ride like TS/MR/Frosty/LB/WT/Death_Inc/etc...... meaning you've done "some high speed riding"....

    HP cars can easily pull up to around 250 and there will be another 2 - 3 cars heading your way in the opposite direction, whether they cut you off or you manage to find an off road is a one in a thousand chance, then there's the bloody eagle. Then the charge of failing to stop, $1000's in fines, having to walk home, court appearances......... ahhh ...... enough........

    And despite what the local gossip mongers say a car is faster than a bike around corners, it just depends on whether the piggy feels like it or not - and remember these fellas do it for a living.

    Besides ZXR's and CBR's are not that fast - sure they can get to 200 - but most of that is academic - they don't really have enough acceleration to play with after 150.

    I get abot 13L pyro, and usually about 175-225 range
    No your brakelight shouldn't do that

    JSG, I've seen 200 regularly, it's a case of carrying lots of cornering speed

    Go the CBR crew

    is that riding hard or like a nana? I think if it were the case Id have to hope like hell I could lane split. albeit cops and go down buslanes etc.

    I dont think I would ever do a runner. im not experienced enough and nor do I ever exceed the posted speed limit. eh texmo eh eh eh?

    Is that 200k on any road on any day?? Or is it down a smooth, straight downslope.

    Does it accelerate hard until 200 and hit the limiter?? Or does it go hard till 150-170 then eventually get to 200 in a few seconds?? How much acceleration do you have between 160-200??

    Will test my ZXR when it gets a set of decent tyres and I stop the 1 drop a second oil leak that coats my rear tyres .... so far it gets to 160 accelerating as hard as a standard little 250 accelerates.... haven't taken it over 170 meters a day yet.
