speedo on my 81 gsx 1100 goes to 240 had it past that but according to the formula was only 225.4 km/h. bike wasnt running to well at the time. roll on the 3rd feb for the sprints in carterton as the old girl has been worked on since the last sprints (the bike not the wif ) hoping to get actual 240ish.

2000 CBR600F4 52,000km's 200kmh on the back straight of Manfield, then I chickened out at the 100m board for the sweeper

1993 Kawasaki ZX1100 D1

Speedo only goes up to 300kmph - had it there a couple of times. "indicated" though obviously.

Most of the time I run out of road at 280/290kmph

Too fast. Too furious.

In the UK I have touched 145Mph, but is was just a bit too quick for me. My mates with their heads on the tanks were clocking mid 160s. Just a bit too fast for my liking. 120-130mph is a lot of fun. Any faster it seems to lose its appeal.

My present bike does 104mph (166kph) flat out. Not at all fast. Not at all furious and actually quite boring, hence the search forb a new bike!

Speedo stops at 299. The tach keeps going though

I ended up gearing it down (2 tooth overstock). Gets there pretty quickly.

05 yamaha R1,

After working back through and working out the actual wheel speed based on the engine RPM, primary drive, gearbox and final drive ratios. Claculating the percentage of wheel slip generated by the huge torque of my bike.
There was one particular section of track I raced this thing on where I managed to hit redline in top gear.
Whoah!
86km/h is really frightning eh!

**EZAS** · 29th January 2008, 13:31

I've seen 280kmh on the speedo.
I've also been on the back when someone hooked 280k on the speedo.

220kph verified by the ginger on Old North Road. Plenty faster unverified.

**marioc** · 29th January 2008, 14:32

"indicated" 130 kmh

Average 143mph timed through the flying 1/4 mile - starting with about 800 metre runup. And I gained 1000rpm from the start of the 1/4 to the end... - that was on my old 'Yoshi' GSX1100ET/X over at Carterton.

Dunno exactly how fast, but 11,500 rpm in top, with tall gearing on during testing for Puke - on the McIntosh. Guess nudging 300kph, as was pulling a guestimated 160 kph in top at 6000rpm...
