How fast - on the road

[The#Doctor#]

Just wondering how fast have you got to on the road without being caught, or if you have been caught doing silly speeds how fast were you going? What kind of penalties did you get ?


Post your stories here:

Fastest i have been is about 100 on my RS125.
I do it occasionally when im on a nice open road, usually dual carridgeways.

no really we all know that almost nobody sticks to speed limits especially at 2 in the morning with no one around as have seen other posts where people have got 155mph+ so to repeat the question how fast have you got on the road??

[distortion]

110 with pillion, 95 caught ... had no proof so let me off with a warning that if i carried on he would be scraping me off the floor

[Runaway987]

169 mph on the back of a Gixxer thou.

Last autumn on the norwich bypass.

Its a very strange kind of speed - its so noisy its quiet and you almost have an urge to let go and fall.

Crescent blue - gorgeous, til it was nicked the cnuts...

Got caught on the back again of said gixxer pulling a fat mono but we only got a telling off.

Runaway

Indicated 118mph....only limited because thats what it topped out at (in the conditions)

[Runaway987]

Dr Nick have you ever met James Gross?

Used to Ride Suzuki TLR1000, then bought the gixxer crescent???

[Dr Nick]

[.....]

Indicated 168 MPH.

TBH 120-160 there's not much difference. I'm sure once you get to 180 it seems faster, but I'm yet to have a bike fast enough for that

Plus the speed feels faster or slower depending on where you do it. 160 on a nice smooth wide race circuit is nothing compared to 120 along a narrow country road.

Anyway speeding on the roads is bad blah blah blah

[KLR600]

92mph down the Crimea (it's a mountain).

My bike is restricted and it's not exactly built for speed anyway.

[Josh|RD125LC]

lilredbaron, whats the top speed you have had out of your KR1-S? As I know they can reach pretty good speeds (130?) and with very quick acceleration.

BTW my top speed is 65 on a Peugeot Speedfight

I've actually gone faster in my back garden on the MZ than I have managed to get out of the Ped on the road Josh, theres some more info on the MZ on the Loads of cleaning later thread.

On a trip a while ago a mate was apparently haveing to follow me at 100 most of the journey

99.9% of the time i'm at or under the limit, just too much hassle worrying about getting caught out..

I dont think ive ever exceeded about 95mph on any bike in the u.k. Im going to do the first of many track days in June, and so im hoping that will increase a bit depending on the track, and my riding i suppose. Im generally for keeping loosely within u.k. speed limits on the roads, I dont much exceed 80mph on motorways, and 65-75mph on A roads. occasionally on a quiet B road out in the country ive been up to 80-90mph a few times, but i usually like to pick roads where they are too technical to do that speed, and that you cant take corners at even 50-60mph sometimes, as these roads are more fun for sure! I havn't found a better example of these roads yet than North Wales, though i really want to ride into the Scottish highlands this year for the best biking roads in Britain?

On a French autoroute ive clocked 128mph on the zx6, but that was with my expanded tankbag way over the top of the screen, so i didnt think too much for it at the time!

160mph, a speed which annoyingly I've hit a couple of times (including this afternoon ).

By annoyingly, I mean if I'm doing 160mph, it might as well be flat out at 170-175mph for the difference it makes.
