The pit bike forum I regular have a thread going about recorded top speeds etc.

Lad on there is claiming his Cagiva Mito does a true 130mph.

I replied saying that it does.

Then another guy, Who is actually 24 years old, Quotes me, and comes in with this reply.

I like the way he seems so serious about it.

And the way he thinks a fireblade or hayabusa will have trouble getting rid of an rs125.

If you felt that sorry for him, you would have got him laid.

Not long after I'd joined this forum there was a huge five or ten page thread simply called "My cagiva mito does 130mph".

Basically we just ended up ripping the piss out of this guy and he kept biting back. I think it ended with me claiming my 955cc Triumph could do 955 miles an hour. Cos it says so on the side.

I suspect that being it is a common claim for dumbass mito riders, the Mito must have a wildly inaccurate speedometer.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

A Mito is a 16 year olds wet dream.

A Mito is a 17 year olds dream bike. The few who's parents do buy them a Mito, Instantly claim 120mph+ figures.

SURELY at 24 years old. You'd understand a 125cc Sewing machine engine isnt capable of 120mph? Laughing

My 60bhp NC29 only just managed that.

It's not the speed claims that get me, Its the fact the fella is 3 years older than me, And reading his post makes me feel like I'm talking to 18aprilla.

Seems to be a latent thing within the more naieve of the biking community. Just the other day we saw a quote from a middle aged hayabusa rider who had been jailed claiming his bike was capable of '220mph as standard'.

Unfortunately they exist everywhere. Same as the old guy in my local who thinks my bike isnt 'as fast as my car' when he owns a 6 year old subaru. No explanation is enough for these people Wink

Maybe the R6 and the mito were on the same trailer hence the 120 thing!! Confused

Just tell him my 4 stroke Hyosung GT 125 did 565 mph when it was being transported on a pallet on a cargo plane from Korea.

I think he talking about the rs and not the mito. Shocked

Maybe it's a Mito with an RD 350 LC engine in it.

Anyone that ends their post TRUE is obviously full of wank.

He sounds like a teenager; it reminds me of the infamous corsa driver who thought folding down his rear seats made his car go faster who then turned out to be in his mid twenties and a police officer Shocked

(or was that all bollocks?) Thinking

Fair enough taking it out, but sticking it in the boot? Shocked

And yes, how the hell does Keith know everything there is to know about every bike that has ever been built? Laughing

Actually having said that, whilst your about (if you still are), any ideas what's causing my CBR's engine to vibrate so much when it seems to otherwise run fine? It's not the mounts and it's not exhaust related Confused

Ah, now come on Keith Mr. Green

I'm not on here a lot but I've seen you produce intimate knowledge about a large number of wildly different bikes and indeed cars on here Razz

You either have a remarkable memory or are the fastest and most efficient googler I've ever seen. Laughing
