    Friday, friday friday mmmm oh wait mine's black !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Lol...

    I think it's funny how they make 200 sound fast...

    That's what, 3rd gear for a litre bike?

    600's and 1000's crack more than that on quarter miles....

    Like in the States when a biker is being chased... WOW, he's doing a hundred... BORING... That's what most litre bikes do in first....

    BWAHAHAHAHA...

    BTW, I don't care about running/not running in this case, just amused at the emphasis on the speed...

    Dude, 200 is fast, no matter what gear you're in. Enough to fark you and others up beyond recognition.
    It's a lot faster than most riders can handle. I'm sure any rider on a thou is happy to twist the throttle to reach that magic 200 mark, but how many can squeeze that front break in emergency from 200 with confidence?

    Respect the power of the speed before you explore it.

    I'm not disputing 200 is quick/fast, just amused by the fuss...

    Oh, there's nothing magic about 200. It feels the same as 190 and 210.... Around 260+ is where you KNOW something's happening....

    BWAHAHAHHA...

    200 is very fast on the open road.

    You don't see much wandering stock, tractors, or other hazards on a drag strip.

    I don't think the tyres on my red bike would handle 200kph. It's also not road legal.
