Fastest you've been?

Im always scared theres a copper hiding behind the next bush, and I absolutely cannot afford to lose my licence. So 70mph Im not sure where people find these private roads to do silly speeds on without worrying about insta-ban speeds.

I got an indicated 85 (probably nowhere near it in reality because it was made of cheese and the speedo was a vague guess) on a long downhill stretch with the wind behind me on my 1980s Brazillian CG125 knockoff and that was absolutely terrifying because it felt like it was going to fall apart at any second.

Yeah well I hit 100mph on my Yamaha sr125 because it magically developed more horsepower randomly one time I was out on it.

I also beat a yam rd250 that time because the 125 is lighter. Power to weight ratios... physics and that

[colink98]

nothing more than 70 (give or take) on the bike on public roads.

On the track i used to race 125cc Rotax karts on a fixed gear.
the real sensation of speed is when you are drawn on the front row of the grid and there are 30 odd younger lighter and faster lunatics all trying to go under over around or just straight through you.
it was a good weekend when you didn't have hundreds of pounds of repairs to make.

Single seaters and cars.
best fun was the 911 but only due to the lunatic instructor who I'm sure was trying to kill the both of us.
Man did we hustle that car around the track.

About 15 minutes but she was hot, was a whore in bed and her twat was quite tight.

106MPH on a GT550 around the M25, mind you that was long time ago, can't handle over 90MPH nowdays, old age.

I'm not saying I ever break the speed limit, but IF I was stopped by the police, there would be no talking to, fines or court dates, they would proceed straight to the kicking me right in the bollocks..... several times

[Brava210]

69 MPH

125-130mph indicated on my CB750, and I started feeling very mortal. My friend on his ZZR1400 disagreed and proceeded to dramatically disappear into the horizon.

Personally, I have no idea how some of you manage to find it in your heart, and possibly brown pants, to pile another 100kmh on top of 200.

I just remembered when I was a youngster I was riding my bike flat out, so just under a 100mph on the clock, so probably about 90mph late at nigh on an empty road, I glanced in my mirror, nothing behind me, and something on 2 wheels shot past me in a blur and was gone

[hellkat]

I've gone just beyond a ton a couple of times, although not on this bike

After the first time, when i had a point to prove to myself and a reason to do it - a funeral of a mate, whom we were following down the M5 in one of those coffin sidecar arrangements.

The novelty kind of wore off after that for me... but i will admit to it being a buzz when you accidentally realise you're reaching it, so yeah.

The most enjoyable fastest speed I've done was on my Suzuki ER 50 TS, I did a whopping 48 mph, the proof was a speeding ticket that I was so proud of and showed it around school for weeks.

Absolutely pinned on the then brand newly released ZZR1100, which was supposed to be the fastest production bike on the planet, at that time.

My memory says that was 186mph, or thereabouts, as tested by contemporary bike mags - I don't know if they had specially tweaked test bikes (which was the norm back then) but looking at online specs, today the suggested top speed is about 10mph less.

Either way, the scenery is going past pretty damn quickly.

In a car, on a track, 200ish +- a couple of mph

150 on a GPZ1000 RX a week or three after buying it the guy I bought it from commented at the time of sale that it was good for at least 190. I considered this a massive overstatement of the bikes true abilities but decided to put her to the test "on a private road of course". I got it up to 150 and as the last post before this states "everything on each side of you ... and pretty much in front of you becomes a blur" very quickly.
Once you're at "warp" it's kinda like having tunnel vision but you and the bike are covering more distance a whole hell of a lot faster than your eyes can cope with so stopping in time in the last minute realisation that something is coming at you extremely quickly isn't going to happen.
As that thought went through my head the throttle was rolled off and the brakes gently applied 150 is quick enough and doing that once is also enough. Engaging warp drive on a public highway is Madness and a quick way to end up a greasy messy splodge somewhere off in the distance where you had no chance of seeing properly because you were riding like a complete c*ck.
Having satisfied my curiosity as to her abilities that was the first and last time that particular bike went over 70 throwing it down the road at "that, kinda speed would be enough GPZ1000RX's aren't the lightest of bikes in fact 2 wheeled tank comes to mind.

I've done 168mph indicated on a Zx10r (C model), ran out of space to go faster. Not that it took that bike long to get there!

Not had any desire to go that fast again, for that matter I've never owned a super sport since. Owned that bike a year and got rid. Didn't do it for me.

I now stick to nakeds and sport tourers. I'll leave the speed to the rest of you.
