Biggest crock of shit i ever heard was the guy that many years ago said he could ride from downtown Auckland to Hamilton and back in under an hour.
This was on the GPZ900 ninja
Thats a 200km round trip and at the time wasn't motorway most of the way.

"140 round the 55's".

.....Yep.....

Mine is a ZXR250A. Still mint though.



I'm afraid not. Good quality 4 stroke. Unless the japanese 2 stroke are de-restricted they'll only put out around 45 hps at the crank, which is the same as the pre-93 4 stroke 250 ccm sportsbikes.

My old 1981 RD250LC was a rather heavy bike compared to the more modern NSR/RGV etc and it was still quite capable of 187kph, but that was screaming the shit out of it in 5th or 6th, never really cared as the first thing I did was disconnect the rev counter. It was there for a good time, not along time.

Biggest crock of shyte I've heard is from a KBer, you might know who it is. Has a big pile of destructed bike bits from several bikes, claimed to have one run over by a bus, but also claims to be a motorcycle mechanic.

And again - there is a 50+ dude on a HD that owns many a sportsbike on the Takas.

Fantastico, Though seeing as I don't know the guy he doesn't come under the grouping of fellow HD riders I hear talking shit.

And you must have little idea of the delusional bullshit that flows between certain (types of) people when there are no jap bike riders in earshot.

Guy at work used to have a Thunderbird. Little piece of road here in Nelson, made from a few steep but short inclines, known as The Switchbacks.

Anyway, as soon as you reach the top you begin to go back down. He hit the top of one of the hills at 200ks, and managed to fly thru the air around 300 meters and land on the crest of the next hill.
Wrote that bike off eventually tho, crashed into an open manhole - no scraches to him!

Same guy with the help of a couple mates, drank a mini tanker full of piss in a single session lasting 2 days. This was out at sea of course, then when the tanker was dry, had the spotter helicoptor onboard fly to land and pickup a few crates to resupply effort.

Ah well, I doubt there would have been any restrictions in play in 1981.
Weight doesn't really matter when it comes to top speed though - only acceleration, agility and handling (if you hang off a lot).

I don't know how much mine would do at the top - and I have no plans about finding out. I feel pretty confident 190 km/h should be doable, but you might have play around with the sprockets a bit - and it would take a fair amount of time for it to get there...

She'll be right

Said umpteen times a week by most kiwi's when she defiantly won't be right.

Can't do that anymore.
It's got speedbumps.

You make it sound like there might be some sort of doubt.

no restrictions then, awesome powerband with the frount at times coming up too easy - watch the rises in the road etc, was a original bike but quite possibly faster than many today. Was so easy to lean right over and ride like it was a moto gp.
