Are you talking Taupo to Napier ?

BTW: I'm pulling ya leg. There is all these stories about 60mins corner to corner etc etc. I still reckon a guy on a GSX-R1000 or something could cut it out pretty damn quick.

No Napier to Taupo.

phew...hard to say, 40 mins is a big call. how far is it?

90 miles = 135mph. Need an IOM specialist!

Mate of mine did it today - pretty sure he didn't manage that on his Bandit.

If you could guarentee no cops and traffic then it would be all on. There is some fairly tight stuff in the middle there so the sweepers would have to be pushing it. Worth a crack you reckon?
