Fastest you've been?

[xX-Alex-Xx]

What's the fastest you've been on your bike (on a closed circuit of course)? Was able to hit 184 mph (GPS verified - speedo was pretty well calibrated, and showed 299kph but revs were still climbing). Was scary trying to get it back down again before the tarmac ran out

Nice try police but you'll have to do better than that to get any admissions from us.

About 160 indicated on a Bandit 1250. Had 130 out of my car, but it had loads left, would like to see how quick it can go but their aren't many places to do it. I reckon it could top 160. Have been eyeing up VMAX events but they seem expensive for what they are (£400)

I did an Airfield riding day at RAF Odiham, and I was near the top end of my rev range in 6th on my CBR. We had to tape up our speedo so I'm not sure of the actual speed, but I estimate it to be between 140 and 150mph. I believe I've been faster at Snetterton on a bigger bike but I can't remember specific occasions. Maybe I went on my Daytona 955i?

Perhaps not fastest but memorable, in 1991.. 120 mph (on the clock) on a pre-divvy XJ600. I-O-M mountain section trying to keep up with my mates on FZ750 and FZR600. The roads had just re-opened and we weren't far behind the 'Roads Open' travelling marshall.
I was concentrating hard (as you might) when a ZZR1100 came past, two-up and on the back wheel.. I kid you not.

176 but the private road started to curve too much to continue at that speed.

I've seen over an indicated 150 on an late generation ZZR600 - not sure how much I believe that, but in theory they're capable of it. Excellent bike anyway. That was a long time back now.

Current car will supposedly do 155 "limited". I'd be very surprised but who knows.

They do quite regular top speed test days at Elvington which I'm sort of tempted by and I don't think cost that much, but I'd want to bring both the bike and the car and it's a long way from home for me!

145 (indicated) on the VFR. Honestly it all feels the same for me over about 100, so I've never bothered to repeat/exceed it.

155 indicated on the GPZ. Felt like there was more, but there was a roundabout on the closed circuit.

An indicated 180 on an FZR1000EXUP.
The runway ( ) I was on came over a crest, and there it stretched out before me, straight and empty. Right, let's see what it'll do, thinks me. So I pinned it. Got to about 120 and tried to tuck behind the screen...and couldn't because of the wind blast! So I eased off a bit, then tucked down, and pinned it again.

Fastest I'd seen on a clock before then was 150 on my 750 Turbo, but that was probably quite an inaccurate reading - Kawasakis in particular were notorious for optimistic speedos at the top end back then as I recall it. So I was quite impressed by an indicated 180, especially as the bike was rock steady and well behaved at that speed, no suggestions of a weave, not fazed by any bumps or other runway ( ) irregularities.

Fastest I've been since then, which was about 1990, is a little over an indicated 160 on a couple of the Fazer thous I've had. On my current one, the needle was still creeping slowly up after that figure, but I ran out of available runway ( ) and had to ease off again.

140, 2 up on the A39 between Plymouth and Exeter on my first FJ1200. I was following some flash car who tried to leave me behind. I missed my planned exit because no way was I going to be able to slow down in time.

Repeated it solo on another FJ1200 on the A13 years later just to see if it was how I remembered.

Got it out of my system back then, don't really go over a 100 nowadays.

Edit Just looked on a map, it was the A38.

About 140mph on an unrestricted German autobahn on a bike (my old Thundercat).

Fastest I have piloted any machine is around 170mph on a standing mile in an Aston Martin V12 Vantage+.

183 (GPS after the fact, fuck knows what the clocks said).

165 (GPS) 2 up.

[struan80]

Short penis. I've only managed 134mph indicated. Had my nephew on the back wanted to scare him ended up scaring myself.

3 yr old ZZR1100, Autobahn, '97. Maxed out, indicated north of 180, so probably 165 in reality. Shortly after that, coming out of a restricted zone and building speed again, but still about an indicated 140, I was passed by something vaguely Audi-shaped like I was standing still. It was my first, and probably last, experience doing that sort of speed and see something gaining on me in the outside lane, flashing it's lights.

As fast as a modified Hayabusa can go.

On a runway obviously. Never on the motorway, because many kittens would be killed.

And we don't like dead kittens.
