Where to try your ZX14 top speed

[Kirill357]

So since I get myself a new bike, virgin (with 0 km on the clock) ZX14 , with some minor improvements from factory specs, such as yoshi pipes, hehe, ok ok showing off is finished , back on topic, what I am after is a piece of road to really squeeze the throttle on, just a straight and long, say a runway in airport, so I'm not gonna loose the license for 200+ speeds. So once I finished with engine break-in I want to try how it feels on 300

Here is my new baby below

Id say your best bet would be a drag strip, just get your launches sorted and keep her pinned

Nice bike and well wear

I got my busa up to 265 on the back straight at pukekohe, dont really want to go any faster, wind kinda puts you off and im chickensh!+. you could wait for the speed trials that pop up every so often.
Is it still speed limited to 299?

Yeah, factory limiter in place 299 and no more.

I like the cute little reflectors on the front mud guard

There are a few places where you can do it, sadly, none of them endear you to the local fuzz...

Doesn't take that long to get there btw, so don't imagine for a moment that you need a 9 mile salt flat or whatever...

Sticker says "Hotbodies racing.com", guys in Motorad in Wellington sorted me out with bike, dont know where they got screen from, it was $200

you would need at least a couple of ks,there are some long straight roads over the wairarapa.....the sprints held a few weeks ago would be the place,but even those woulnt let you get to absolute max speed....you would get to mid 200s pretty fast though...

Your airport idea sounds like a good one - other than the obvious risks/problems with doing anything over 140 on a public road, hitting anywhere near 300 would be best done on a fairly smooth surface.

Also - high speeds should only be experience on a naked bike - then you really know you are hauling arse (or so I am told....) there's nothing better to strengthen your neck muscles.

I agree - drag strip or selected tracks
