First bike you did a Ton on.

[T-Thunder13]

oh just last sunday on my unicycle! or maybe it was just my state of mind, i was traveling backwards toward the sun in a cloud of figure 8's going twice the speed of lead.
ill come back when i get a bike that can do the ton eh?

Due largely to the lower volumes of traffic and the fact speed in itself doesn't kill...

If you timmed the lights right you could on a 72 Norton Commando start off at the lights at the Old Railway station on Moorhouse Ave and get all the way back to the Barrack's in Poulsen Street in Addington, before the cops, but only if you did the ton. But you had to do it two up to obtain verification. That was before internet and bikecams. You needed a witness in the bar to state the facts. Wells thats wat I've been told anyway.

Early last year, 1988 GSXR250, easy 160, had plenty of pulling power to reel in my mates GSX250 fully tapped. then a big CBR flewpast at 100km+faster.
That showed me got a faster bike!
It was also on stopping (no more airflow) that the head gasket s minor weep became a gush with a timid limp home over the hill

Then an rg150, scariest bike ever, can't inagine a bigbore 2smoke!

I took my 2003 GSX250 to the sprints at carterton.
I had already seen an indicated 160 (Im sure they calibrated the speedo so it says 160 because its some kinda benchmark)

First time I went I managed 158.55kph @ indicated 165ish
next time I geared higher 1 tooth on front: 160.93kph
Then with homemade drainpipe exhaust: 161.83kph

best standing 1/4 was 15.75 seconds.

Give it a go legaly its lots of fun and ya dont need to be gunning for 300+ to have fun!

1972, on the long straight leaving Shannon on the way to Palmerston North, on a borrowed CB750 (the Honda owner had my Kawasaki F9 to go dirt riding that weekend) In those days you'd be lucky to see another vehicle between Levin and Massey uni, and the back way was "a lot" quicker than going via the main road.

First time was on the back of a workmates GT 550 all worked up with bassini chambers and shit along the road to Wgtn airport with no gloves or anything and a badly fitting half faced helmet. I dont think i went with him again after that.
With me riding it was on my hot rodded CB400/4 along the Hutt Road at night.
I was watching the speedo so carefully i didnt see the cop till i went passed him and i didnt think it was a good idea to stop so i just carried on. I chased a mate on a CB750 on day and saw an indicated 180on my speedo and the bloody thing wobbled and bounced for ever after that day.

Its amazing how we all stayed alive doing speeds like we all did on " H " rated tyres and shitty brakes. But at least the fuel was great in those days and cars had carless days to cope with and we could ride every day just because we could.

Yeah, if I recall rightly, The Spada did one 172, and a standing 1/4 in 14 flat.

Thats pretty decent for a V-twin 250.

[SPman]

Does it count that I bounced my (ex) wife off the back of the seat on the Ducati, when we hit a bump at an indicated 160K, just south of Whangarei in 1974, whilst passing a bunch of Hondas?

Lucky I had a carrier fitted...........

[MisterD]

I did it on a scooter! a 1969 lambretta which is for sale on trademe right now in fact.

How did I miss this claim Googie? BTW, Steve's TS1 did a calculated 100mph on the dyno at Race & Rec, so I'll put you down as another deceived by the speedo.

As far as I've been told, it holds the Welling record for fastest V-twin 4-stroke 250cc. I'm pretty stoked with that.

'twas an '87 NS250R on highway 75 somewhere between birdlings flat and taitap, racing my cuzzy on an '86 RZ250

two 2-smokers, side by side at around 190km, the honda juuuuust had the edge and was passing the yammie at about an inch per second farkin great fun

[ManDownUnder]

GPz500A1... about 10 minutes after I took posession in 1986... on a closed track of course.

[avgas]

Then an rg150, scariest bike ever

Amen brother.
The FZ scares me due to torque.....but the RG used to scare me with my confidence on the thing.
Like giving a porn star to the monks.

1987 on an RD250LC J-spec.

The ton was pretty much all she'd do, 168ish kmh
