Police get riders at over 200 km/h

A mostly-stock 2004 Hayabusa, ridden by our very own kiwifruit, did 281 last year.

Nobody's done 320 yet, though.

Nice.The 300 click mark is certainly an event i would say.Not one ive attended and not to sure i would go there,not these days anyway.The resistance V output thing is quite interesting,did a search but cant find it.

Y'know, I saw this guy in one-piece leathers once, with a personalised plate that said '5QUID', even. Presumably just in case nobody could work it out from watching his riding.

But he was wearing a Shoei, so it was all right.

HOW DID THIS GET SO MANY REPLIES ALREADY!
This thread is only 8 hours old.
HOW!!!

And to think all this commotion over me and my mate

I have seen this number plate, before.
IRL or a picture from NZ, I HAVE seen it!

WHO WHO WHO?

Your Wikipedia-fu is weak!

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_equation and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_resistance.

The power required to overcome the aerodynamic drag is given by:

Note that the power needed to push an object through a fluid increases as the cube of the velocity. A car cruising on a highway at 50 mph (80 km/h) may require only 10 horsepower (7.5 kW) to overcome air drag, but that same car at 100 mph (160 km/h) requires 80 hp (60 kW). With a doubling of speed the drag (force) quadruples per the formula. Exerting four times the force over a fixed distance produces four times as much work. At twice the speed the work (resulting in displacement over a fixed distance) is done twice as fast. Since power is the rate of doing work, four times the work done in half the time requires eight times the power.

Yep,along those lines indeed.

Well, come on then, was it someone on here? had you put the front wheel down yet? Hope the coffee made up for the trouble!

**Maha** · 16th April 2009, 22:56

Have you just woken up???

you are probably the same people that put up threads saying you are going to race everyone at trackdays putting our insurances at risk as well.

you guys are legends in your own underpants. why dont you keep your opinions on being ok to speed on public roads in there.

good work dickheads

But more importantly...can YOU wheelie?
