My last bike was a blackbird and I once followed a vtr at quite low speed, the vtr stomped away really suprised me the low to middle speed grunt..........so I bought one. never looked back when it comes to fun ........no contest.

Well, in December last year I managed a 237 km/h on my Sigma BC800. At indicated 190km/h the Sigma shows about 176-178km/h. With that in mind the indicated would have been about 250km/h (156mph).

oki so am i just to fat for speed ??????
141 mph still room on the rev counter just no more speed ? might build slowly but 50 mph gatso at end of carageway god damn seems to go realy well til 135 then runs out of puff

well well well, i think it proves size matters and small is often best. I reached 170mph with a k3 gixer 1000 with limiters removed sat next to me. i went on my first ride and wondered what she could do (my R6= 160). The midrange grunt took my mate by surprise and by the time he could pass me i was at 170mph and i rolled off when he topped 180mph.
but hes 16st and 5,6" ish compared to my 5.2" 8st, im sure my storm dont know im there.

did manage a 152 lest week so im not eating for a week might get 155

Just about managed an indicated 170 at the nurburgring on the Dottinger Hohe straight.

I did over shoot the pits and get a bollocking from the marshals though.

It was on me first storm, bog standard apart from 15t front sprocket. With the speedo inaccuracy and lower gearing I reckon it was just about 150 genuine.

Teehee, its SOOO easily done. You're flat out going for it and half way down some over efficient German has stuck some cones!!

Did you carry on or turn back mate?

I came to a halt about 50 yards past the cones I think, then turned back and bimbled sheepishly into the pits.

I was in a little top-speed world of me own y'see. You'd have thought that when the Hayabusa and the 911 GT3 started disappearing in me mirrors I'd have took notice....but no.

Got 160mph on an Autobahn coming out of Germany two weks ago, verified by my mate following me on a ZX7r. There was more to come but the front end started shaking a bit
