Read the fuggin thread. The whole point is that they're usually not ridden within legal limits.

Mate, relax up a bit. I think the point that most are trying to get accross is that any bike can go over the speed limit. It's up to the rider to control the urge.

And what bikes are? Are there bikes out there in the 250cc and above range that are limited to 100km/h on the open road?

Oh yeah, went out for a ride last night to Akaroa. Decided to try cruising at 100km/h in 6th for a distance, not a k over. Bike purred along, fueling beautifully, no 'snatchiness', accelerated smoothly when I opened the throttle. So to re-iterate, no a 1000 is not too fast or quick for the road. Just to add to this the the latest Superbike mag has a shootout between the Triumph 675, GSXR750K6 and GSXR1000K6 (all Superbikes class winners) for bike of the year. The 750 came first, the thou second and the Triumph last. Anyway, they seriously suggest anyone looking at a sportstourer to try a GSXR1000 as it is such a versatile bike. Great power for when it's needed, excellent low speed manners, great comfort on long distances. And yet it's still the best supersport open class bike.

Biggest fright the 'bus has given me was when I had only had it about a week and in second gear a car slowed to turn into a drive way and I gased it to get around and back in line before the motorway on ramp and before the line of cars in the other lane.
used what would have been normal taps on my gsz1100f.
Well, when the back wheel stopped spinning my eyses sucked in to the back of my head as I found myself at 130kmph in the blink of an eye.
I have never since forgotten just how many ponies hide under the cowls.

Who cares if they are ridden within legal limits......I have never ridden any bike I have owned within legal limits at all times, as have probably 90% of those on KB.
I ride sensibly and within the law in certain areas such as town, past schools etc, but get on an open bit of clear road and if safe anything can happen.
A pedantic gaylord is someone who's not up to play on model designations of certain bike models.
This thread is now completely pointless and a waste of webspace, lets start a learner bikes are too fast thread, as well as a 250's too fast, 400's too fast, 600's too fast, Harley's too fast......oh wait that's not right????

ghay? do you mean ghey? not on the same wavelength ...... although he IS a Scot, i believe

or are you implying 'gay', as in stark staring lemon?, poofta?, horse's hoof?, ginger beer?, shirt lifter?, faggot? ..........?

and what, pray tell, is a 'bufties' when it's at home?

According to the internet, ghay is pronounced gah hey. Essentially it means he isn't calling them a homo, but a raging ass raping faggot. Or so I'm lead to believe.

There's a big difference between unwilling and unable, aresemonkey.

No, the thread was, is a litre bike too fast or quick for the road.

The answer was no. It's not. There's no such thing as too quick.

not really, the K3 is quite different to the K5/6. never rode a k1/2. You don't know what you're talking about. You're shitty 750 does double the speed limit. is it too fast? or are you just too poor and rebellious?

In the governments eyes anything faster than walking pace is too fast...

**avgas** · 6th January 2007, 21:56

just a quick scan here, and i need to review here.
Rather than red rep im just gonna be blunt in the forums.
Anyone who thinks a thou+ is a cock extension, is a whiner. People ride 1000+cc bike for 1 reason.......cos they want to. I rode about 100 bike before getting mine, and i can say blatantly that not only did my dick get any bigger, but i didnt ride any faster. Im sick of whining bitches on 600-850 class than say 1000's are not worth it. If i believed your opinion on such a matter, i would own such a bike. but as it stands, my bike is my bike, yours is yours. leave your petty comments at the door - cos i arent going to disrespect your bike.
Fact of the matter, i rode alot faster on smaller bikes back in the day, then i do now. Im horrible when it comes to two strokes, cos im addicted to power bands and power valves (god bless em).
Ride what you want, when you want, fuck what other people say - isnt that the moto of motorcyclists?

Thats what I thought... Like you I use to ride a lot faster on smaller bikes back in the day too...

I have said this many times I respect anyone on two wheels and also respect the bike, I may not like the style of the bike but thats just my freedom of choice, but I still have the respect...

Yeah, but you can't compare a litre bike to a two stroke. Litre bikes just go really really fast. Two smokers go bananas.
