Police get riders at over 200 km/h

[Kaituna]

211km/h................I dream of going that fast, if only my DR650 would stop wobbling and grow an extra testicle!

[3umph]

Don't know what unit of measurement you use out there in the wops but in Auckland we have km/h

last time I was up there I think it was more like h/km.... dam congestion

we dont really have that down here...

Fact: Human reaction dictates there will still be a minimum distance travelled. The faster you go, the longer it is...It is not influenced by:

Unless you're Skidmark, then you could stop in 2m....

200km/h is against the law ,if it bothers so many people , lets raise the speed limit to 200km/h , then it`s all good. p/t

Anything else I can help with?

DougieNz won`t your`e ST go that fast is that why your upset?

No idea of the actual figures but will take a wild stab in the dark and suggest that the huge majority of sportsbikes or any other kind of bike over 600cc never sees a race track in its life,some will say and i agree to a point 2 up with gear a larger capacity bike etc is all good but that aside theres no way anyone will convince me that the only portion of said bikes that sees the + side of 100km/h are owned by the lowest form of individual destined for the gates of hell.Thats the problem with the interweb,people can live in glass houses and get away with throwing stones.Edit not a crack at the poster of quote.

Cmon ppl fess up .Most of us have bike that will do these sort of speeds and on the odd ride you have to just sort of check it out. Just in case that is off tune sort of... you know what I mean. But Faaark you usually pick the place and don't get caught doing it or put "Ma n Pah at risk . Or maybe I'm just old fashioned. Or naive that that others don't do it too. You do the crime you do the time here.

Remember that time at band camp?

[smoky]

Apart from the fact that you would need to be a dickhead to be doing that sort of speed and putting yourself and innocent others at risk?

Sorry, but that is FAR too fast to be going on a public road. Go to a racetrack if you want to do speeds like that. We should NOT be condoning this sort of thing IMHO.

Oh dear here we go...... the KB saints have emerged

You think I'm too fucking dumb to realise that?

There's a big difference between 100kph and 200 kph.

I wasn't thinking or saying you were too dumb to realise it, any more than I'm saying that speeding is ok,

I was simply stating a fact, it happens

Sure it happens.

But couple that with the endless posts from motorcyclists whinging about "fucking cagers this" and "fucking cagers that" and it all adds up to making us look like a bunch of dumbfucks.

[HenryDorsetCase]

And so am I.

I haven't specifically directed my comments to the riders in question, rather more so, to the posters that blindly claim that doing 200kph+ is perfectly safe.

did you read my post, and take my point? In this instance it WAS perfectly safe, as evidenced by the fact that they stopped and were ticketed.

Safe is a binary concept.

My bike can get up to and over 200Klm/hr fairly quick and in not much distance
I have been up that road just recently - and when the road was clear ahead, yes I did wind it up a couple of times

I love the feeling, I occasionally wind my car up to those speeds as well - I'm just bad to the bone I guess

I guess one day I'll get it wrong, and some one will say something nice at my funeral, while some one on Kb will quote this post and say I was asking for it

But hey I'd rather live a year as a tiger than 100 as a sheep
