    Mr Kiwifurit,

    Have you ever ridden a FULL HORSE power Hayabusa ?

    I did in 1999 and raced my Full horse power 1997 Blackbird, the 99 Busa pulled away from the blackbird at its top speed of 290kphish.

    Oh, that is certainly the most accurate way to measure speed.

    March Net tested GPS to accurate to .2m/s or .66ft/sec.

    Pretty good I thought. I was wondering just how much I could rely on mine.

    Was having a read through this thread this morning.
    Was thinking, every time I get on my bike I think fuck, this is fast! Honestly I hardly get to the top end nowdays, you just know the things will do these incredible speeds.
    Considering as a young fella on the new Japanese 250s of 1965 we went everywhere lying on the tank trying to get to the magical 'Ton" 160kph !
    I suspect my current ride would probably do close to 160ks in 1st gear if you revved the shit out of the thing ? How times change.

    My first bike was a 1951 B31 BSA 350, top speed lying on the tank was 72mph, (116km/h), confirmed by my mate following on his CB360 while he was sitting up! Highlight of ownership was dragging off an FJ Holden up Bank St. in Warkworth.

    Second bike was a '72 T500 Suzuki which was a rocket by comparison! Top speed indicated was 112mph, (180km/h), and it would do the 1/4 in the same time as a Ferrari of the day, at 13sec. It was rated at 45hp.

    Fastest bike I've owned was my '89 GSX600F with 80hp and indicated 215 and climbing before backing off. (Officer. ) This bike gave me a scare as I wasn't used to the rate of acceleration and was playing with an Audi when we came to a bend at a speed I wasn't prepared for. The bend was cresting a hill and curving down to the right. The Audi with 4WD and big fat tyres made it easily but I had to brake hard into the corner and ran wide. Two things impressed me - the rate of braking possible deep into a corner and how far handling had progressed. On the T500 with its drum brakes and rubber frame I would probably have hit the wall.

    To see video or in person, the way modern bikes go is still an amazing thing for this old guy!

    Too right! Far less traffic, too! We virtually had the country to ourselves. When I was courting, I'd hop on the T500 and travel 500km to visit my then girlfriend. (Musta been worth it, we've been married 35 years now...)

    It was an adventure in itself and I'd often take the long way, just for the fun of it. At times you'd meet another biker at a gas station and ride together for while. These days is seems speed is the essence as you see big bikes travelling past. One of the reasons I ended up with the C50T was that it could relaxingly cruise at around the speed limit, like the old T500, but could do the same top speed if you needed, (!), to. At least it would indicate 170...

    I always wonder how the riders of Hyperbikes can endure the open road speed limits here. These things are comfy to cruise at double that!
