Out of interest what have you changed on the bike?

Congratulations, but not 200mph yet.

Drastic measures may be required.

All the best

I reckon I could have done it today with another 1/4 mile to go at, wasn't revved out in top and Elvington is a short track

not quite ready for a turbo yet - although some velocity stacks may be on order for the winter Wink

Impressive.

Are you a good rider or is your bike superfast? to set a record.

I wonder what real speed I have done??

I have seen 167mph on my speedo once, but I bet my real speed was probably 150ish...

Fcuking hell, a true 197 mph must be mental thinking about it, I remember with the wind blast over the faring and how it caused my helmet to vibrate which in turn made my vision very blurr! It was intense.

Madness!

I only found out today that the rear wheel I borrowed to get a taller sprocket had a plug in the tyre Laughing

mind you it was from a turbo zx12r and he had been 196 on it and it has been on the bike for two years Shocked

Mr Pants

you can't getmuch above 180mph if you can feel or even hear the wind over the helmet - you really do have to be tucked in to the point of almost not being able to see anything..... it's fun, especially with gusting side winds like yesterday Shocked

and yes, I've seen that video, it's pretty cool - although I don't think the 12r was THAT fettled, not like it was a turbo or anything - but still impressive Cool

if I remember rightly, I think the car was beaten by everything, even the completely stock busa Laughing

The 12R was lightened with a big bore kit, not got much more spec than that. Judging by the naked carbon fibre showing where I'd expect to see paint around the bike though, I'd say the weight was taken a fair way down Wink

Car held off the standard 'busa quite easily, the tuned bikes gave it a run for it's money and the 12R left it for dead.

Just googled it, came back with THIS link, written by the car driver. Sounds like it was a fun day out Very Happy
