My '86 VFR400R went well past 180, off the clock to somewhere around 210-220

put the GPS on it, 182

Sounds cooler when you say it pulls past 180

It has (With a pro rider) overtaken my brothers Lancer GSR whilst it's on the speed cut at 185 odd.

took the gsxr for a wee 100km jaunt yesterday.
feels real good!

had a few scary moments where i laid down some power and had the arse end kick out on me

mates said it looked cool though.

cant wait to get the tank painted and she'll be 98% mint, just need to move into my new house which has made life a cunt.. ah well life goes on.

Dad had a Collie cross that would sit on the back of his FJ1200

When he was on the farm the dog would jump onto the back of the mudbug and cruise along eating bugs hahaha
