    Down hill with a tail wind mate. When i had your VFR up to 197kmh or whatever the GPS said it had id say i had about 750rpm left to go, and i think that would of got me to about 210 or so. But yeah, im sure if you wrang the shit out of it you might get 230kmh.

    Yep you do stand a chance, but with your bike it would be best to keep in the top quarter revs as he will eat you in the mid range. Just ring the shit out of the little fella.

    nope... 130mph is 209.2kmh... and that's wat I'd expect a good NC30 to do...

    eeeew a 10kmh faster top speed than the FZR. But the ten tons of paint on your bike will even it out. Sweet!

    i'm running 520 chain using rgv250 front sprockets... you should definately go down at least one at the front... I wouldn't know what the gearing for Taupo would be as I've never been there...

    My FZR '88 can't pull a magot of a pork chop... so I guess you could let Tom's tyres down.

    Well i have ridden my FZR all fixed up now, and i have ridden Toms VFR. I'd say its going to be pretty even.
