Fair enough. It'd be interesting to find out definitively, though.

Slip roads, for example, can be single lane.

I'm trying to find the road near me on Google Maps that turns from a 2-lane DC into a one-lane DC for a bit. Still seperated by trees and a verge.

Massive debate on the topic here.

Consider me learned, my ignorance of carriageway VS lanes is something I didn't know that I didn't know... As you say, definition of a carriageway is the key;

...or maybe 60.https://sandbox.yoyogames.com/extras/user/image/san1/53/263053/thumb/i-dunno-lol.jpg
No...definitely 70.

(My grumble regarding people doing 60 on the A127 still stands)

It's only 70 if it has a central reservation separating the lanes.

A slip road would be the start of an M road.

M roads unless stated would be 70 no?

What's the nomenclature for a slip road that leads onto a DC?

Example: https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=hull+uk&ll=53.7458,-0.312822&spn=0.009504,0.02635&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&hnear=Hull,+United+Kingdom&gl=uk&t=h&z=16&layer=c&cbll=53.7458,-0.312822&panoid=9WVFaMhheL-QiEOl_sbZLA&cbp=12,253.68,,0,14.42

This particular one is (I think) in a 40, but in days gone by I'd say you could drive 70 on the slip road. It's a one-way system. The higher limit exists because head-on collisions are less likely.

Basically I thought a slip road was any road that led you to merge into a fast road. Whether it's a single, dual or motorway. Is there another term?

Apparently so.

Google maestro. The 'exit' part is new to me.

Not much you can do with the new CBR since there are not many visual improvements you can buy, maybe a screen and that's all I can think off.

When you say you are going 75mph in 6th and still have not reached peak power/torque I would say this is untrue, I find peak torque is around the 6500rpm mark and the best time to shift gear is at 10000 rpm not at redline as it hardly pulls at all.

Anyway I doubt a stock CBR will pull a true 90mph since the highest recorded (GPS) top speed I've ever got was 84.7mph which was a racing tuck and not much headwind.

there'll be an end of motorway sign some where on the off ramp. Thumbs Up

... and I usually call them "Fook, was it this one or the next one?"

Well, according to my first driving test examiner, a slip road can also be a lane that turns right into another road in the middle of the city.

Failed on that one, hesitated whilst thinking 'what the fuck is neon about slip roads for, we're miles from the nearest one'.

I had to borrow a 'classic style' Pashley bicycle recently, I've genuinely never had so many people compliment my ride before - literally every time I stopped someone commented about the poxy thing.
It still doesn't make me want to own one.

You're claiming it will do 20mph more so that's 90mph. Clapping

Yet you haven't taken it above an apparant 75mph.

Are you retarded?


I've hit 90 on my 125r r5 (2005 model) with a +1 at the front sprocket, down quite a steep hill mind you! Had another 1k rpms to go til the red line but the tires where only rated to 94mph so i backed off. I was only half way down the hill as well. Would say it's push a tonne if the tires where higher speed rated but who knows?

Changed it back to standard sprockets and it pulls to 80 all day long.. Not bad for a bike with 30k on the clock.. 😁


Here, have a prize for resurrecting a 5 year old thread, just to talk bollox.

The differences with the four stroke generation though are:

1, More money to spend on other things while their thimble sipping bikes save on petrol station visits and cash.

2, Not getting to work or girlfriends parents house stinking of partially unburnt two stroke oil.

3, more chance of getting to work on time 50 weeks of the year, without a broken bike or weekend engine rebuilds every few months if lucky. (Unless they forget to keep their 1litre of oil topped up that is).

4, Not feeling compelled to spend every spare penny on expansion chambers, big bore kits and full race tunes.

5, similar to above, not feeling the need to ride like a loon everywhere or wheelie away from every traffic light in a blue haze.

But how may threads do we get on here, asking for exactly that information on how to best spend money on some sort of hop up kit for a 4T 125, in the hope of 'derestricting' a bike that isn't actually restricted, it was built to put out whatever the limit is this week? (we are commenting in one of them)

And, as previously mentioned, 2Ts only become unreliable when you start messing with them, just like 4Ts.

As a courier in the early 80s, I ran 2T bikes and knew plenty of others who did, without any problems at all, unless you couldn't be bothered to maintain them, or went for poorly executed off piste mods.
