Fastest speed? - What bike?

[Lil_Byte]

What's the fastest speed people have gone, indicated or calculated, and on what bike?

The speedo on my GS only goes to 180, but I've had the bike to just over 8500rpm in top, which means 8.5 x 30km/h =~255km/h.

not willing to say where it was

I am not sure of the math.

But I also had a GS (it unfortunatley died an unfortunate death) and my understanding was they were only good foe 240 absolute tops on a good day with a tail wind and a downhill slope.

Well I must have been a softcock....took an NSR250R up to 240 and thought whoa thats enuff for me...mind you this is back in early 90s....im just a plain limpdick now and wont even go over 140

Sound like a few bikes need to be speed verified...... Carterton Sprints this weekend anyone to back up these claims

Flying 1/4 Mile average, Ducati 748R 251kmh , I did a faster time than someone who's speedo was reading 270 kmh during the day. A lot can be said for speedo error

150 on the ninja 250 (before I got overtaken by the missus and started sulking) 135 on the beemer on gravel, trying to catch up on the straights because i'm crap on corners
