Its a performance issue......from my corner, meaning the sports bike doesn't start enjoying the road's until you hit that 120kph mark(thats about 3500rpm)...as for the 250 100 is its limitthe 750 110-120max missus on the back
As for the speed limit being too low??it is for some of the roads we have but for alot of our roads its about right...they would rather keep building shit roads so they can keep the speed limit down,just my thoughts

Any speed on the open road is not a safe speed. Anything under 100kph is considered dangerous for the open road and anything over 100khp sameo'.Originally Posted by cowboyz
100kph is also a dangerous speed on the open road, you can easily fall asleep at that speed causing manic mayham for those around you.

Riding at the speed limit around corners is the fun bit.
As for the open straights.... well the other 5 gears need an occasional visit don't they!

Because you are penalised to the point you stepped over the law. Not where the hysteresis of the law is observed.
Think of it like playing with knives, you can push a knife quite hard on the skin, but when it breaks the skin - you skin returns to the 'normal level' and the knife will cut as deep as the breaking point was when the surface changed.

I can't be arsed worrying about the cops any more - really I can't - I usually cruise at an indicated 10 km/h above the speed limit. That puts my speed somewhere in the 0-9 km/h above the limit. I do speed up for the occasional corner, to pass or if I let my sensibilities flounder for a second or two. I always keep two things in mind though: time and place!
BAH BAH BAH BAH.
Stewards of this nation? Unless you are a publicly elected member of parliament you are not a steward of this nation, you are just a pleb. What a load of bullshit.
You write "If we ... choose to live under a set of rules that chafe we have nobody to blame but ourselves" while at the same time claiming that you adhere to the speed limit "Because I agree to live in this society and abide by it's rules, no matter how silly they might seem.". Seems you are the one who's gotten all mixed up here, not avgas.
Not adhering to the speed limit, when it is silly, is choosing not to "live under a set of rules that chafe".

Damn, you should get your money back - my bike came with 6 gears... (Haven't heard of a bike doing 120 km/h @ 3,500 RPM in first gear - maybe the boss hoss, dunno.)Its a performance issue......from my corner, meaning the sports bike doesn't start enjoying the road's until you hit that 120kph mark(thats about 3500rpm)...as for the 250 100 is its limit
It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

i never was a punk, lol. i ride at the speed limit cos im basically a goody two shoes. im not above "speeding" if overtaking, but certainly not to the speeds ive seen on here. mainly cos the bike wont allow it, but even when i had the 500, i very rarely went over 110k.
my brother was in an accident after speeding in his car in a 50k zone. i saw what that did to my parents, and i saw what my accident did to them. i dont wish that on anyone, so i am trying to spare them furthur anguish.

What speed limit........... i didnt think there was a limit for bikes............ i could be mistaken

Oh you missed some good times. I miss the bad ass days - when I was bullet-proof.
I could tell you exact speeds I got the bikes up to. That was the main reason I got the first GB to be honest. I needed a bike that was hard to lose my license on - with a top speed of 150kph, the GB was perfect.
Didn't mean to say I didn't just about kill myself on that bike. It did see 150 quite often.
Bloody thing put me in hospital, and its true what they say - bigger they are, harder they fall....at the time my ego was huge.
So yeah, I was a punk, then I grew up and realise I was going to miss a big part of my life. Even if it means riding/driving at said speed limit 95% of time.

Ive been more hurt from doing silly things like kite surfing then i have on a road bike.
200km/h on the road is safter then 120km/h on a dirt bike between 1.5m spaced pine trees!
Each to there own.

Very true. I was merly making a generalisation. Regardless of an actual speed - crossing your own personal limit usually ends in pain
