now where in hell do you think you dcould get a tricked out gixxer in NZ?

[madboy]

OMG, that's friggin fast... Imagine how much horsepower you'd need to break through that aerodynamic hole - probably another 100hp allowing for the extra large testicle carrier you'd need to tow behind it!

BlackYoshi hit 304 on the back straight at Puke on his Yoshimura Edition GSXR1000.


I thought the silver muppet came close 300 too........

Educational answer please - How much $$$ and what else would be required to get a standard thou to do those speeds??

I heard of a chap who "can't wheelie for shit" do 330 on a ZX12R..... which had a few internals or sumching laik dat...... and a custom full exhaust system.

And you believe everything you're told do ya?

Fact: A GSXR thou' will never read faster than 299kph. I know now of three people claiming otherwise but they've obviously actually never been to 299 or they'd know it stopped there and wouldn't claim otherwise.

No, But the people doing the talking were not your typical story tellers.

The gixxer had been played around with and had lots of tasty bits, it was in no way factory standard,

[White trash]

And the speedo had been replaced with a Nizmo unit too had it?

Sorry mate, Gixxers don't read over 299, I don't care if Kevin fucken Schwantz tells me he's seen higher on one. Doesn't matter if the bike's got 700hp! It doesn't happen.

So obviously, anyone telling you otherwise IS your typical story teller as far as I'm concerned.

I don't know - who cares.

Anyway back to my question - say if you had a standard thou from any of the big jap four - what would you need to do to it to break the magic 200mph mark??

[White trash]

Not much to break it, an ex Clee bike will do it fairly easily I reckon.

Speedo wont go over 299kph still.

but, but, it's one of your fellow Gixxer riders! How could a Gixxer clan member be a story teller?

What if his Lordship, Sir John of the Hopkins told ya he saw 310km/h while going round the outside of some numpty? You'd believe him then eh?
EDIT: and you know I'm talking about a GSXR here, 'cos a GSVR would REALLY be telling tall stories.

[BeakerRAT]

206mph, that is fast! Is the Sulby Straight a downhill section? What's the corner like at the end of it?

[justsomeguy]

So what would you need to do?

Full exhaust system, take off the lights and other heavy stuff, adjust gearing (whatever that means - can someone explain please??)....

Would that be enough??
