Good comments on the speedo indicated readings.

Mine was without a speedometer, but measured anyway: 311kph, 1977 TZ750 "Monoca", front straight Phillip Island, 2004. As anyone who knows that bike will confirm, it was a bastard in corners, but hell on wheels in a straight line.

If ya wana know ya top speed with proper timing and a certificate then roll on up (or down) to carterton for the sprints.

Here is the blurb from their website: ( www.cliffhanger.org.nz )

So...any idea how fast your bike will go in a straight line?
Heres the chance to find out!
On 30 September 2007 and 25 November 2007 we will be running a standing and flying 1/4mile sprint. Its just you against a very accurate clock.

The flying run will have a very long run-up ensuring that even the fastest bikes will have ample opportunity to reach their top speed before crossing the first timing light. If you want to experiment with gearing, exhaust sytems, jetting or aero-dynamics then this is the place.

Motorcycles upto and including 600cc - $30 + $20*
Motorcycles over 600cc - $37 + $20*

* The $20 fee is to cover the costs of the MNZ day licence - should the rider be able to produce a valid MNZ race licence on the day, the $20 fee will be waived.

Sausage Sizzle, refreshments available. Clean toilet facilities on-site. Spectators are encouraged to come along.


Gripe about the cost if you must but it's shitloads cheaper than the fine for 300kph

If you have a look at the site you might find some of the previous results interesting too, some bikes really have massive speedo exaggeration and others don't.

My best is on there at 161.85kph on my GSX250 - It was indicating 172 at the time!

Speed supplied by a man in a very smart blue uniform with a lazer thingy - 312kph. Luckily on the back straight at Pukekohe years ago at a Historic meeting. One things for sure I was braking way before the 100m mark, about 100m before it actually. Bike was smooth as silk and still accelerating hard enough to have the front a bit light.

oLD ZXR250C WITH SOME MODS ON IT GOT 190KMH WITH SPEEDO CLOCKED AND ANOTHER 2K RISEN ON THE DIAL WITH + 2KRPM TO REDLINE IN 6TH (PUTS ME SMACK IN PEAK POWER) A ROUGH 200KMH INDICATED OR REAL 192 FROM PREVIOUS DYNO CALCULATIONS.
HAD A MAGIC SPEEDO BOX, NICE TAILWIND, SOME SHINY NEW LEATHERS, NO MIRRORS, A NUTTY RIDER AND SOME LOVING INSIDE HER TO DO THAT.
ON A NAKED 10R '06 GOT 285KMH ON HER TAPPED OUT ON A LONG STRAIGHT, POSSIBLY 290 IF IT WAS A TAD LONGER, SHE WASN'T GOING MUCH FASTER THOUGH.
ANOTHER ONE WITH HEAPS OF ENGINE MODS, 299 AND ANOTHER +2KRPM ON SO SITTING ON REDLINE (299 COMES AT 11K REDLINE IS 13K), THATS WITH 2 TEETH UP ON THE REAR, GOT FROM 180 INDICATED TO REDLINE IN 6TH GEAR ROLLING ON IN UNDER 6 SECONDS. YES IT'S FAST.... 250KMH = 225KMH THROUGH THE SPEED TRAPS, GO FIGURE. 299 INDICATED WOULD BE ROUGHLY 265-270 + THE 2K RPM IS AROUND 40-45KMH IN 6TH SO A TAD OVER OR ON 300 ANYWAY, I NEED TALLER THAN STOCK GEARS TO MAX HER OUT.

Sounds all good - wish it were closer.
Would "clear up" the odd bullshit claim you see here - you can't "go off the revs" as they are often far from accurate also.
Don't think anyone has to worry about the cops reading this - if they knew much about bikes they wouldn't believe the tall stories either.

Have done 100 mph on a modded Kwaka EN500. Bout 2 in the morning between Blenheim and Picton with not a single other car on the road. Only thing to look out for was the damn possums.

HAVE YOU GOT ISSUES WITH YOUR KEYBOARD THEN?

Spilt coke on my keyboard a while back around the caps lock, sometimes caps and other stuff gets stuck on with key up and not pressed (shift etc, but tab which is the w o r s t).
