Your top speed on a bike??

140 and still accelerating hard on GPzInfested's 750 Turbo, at that point it was either set a new jump record (and splatter me and the bike on a wall of a factory) or hit the binders hard.

I've been looking at that humpbacked railroad crossing for awhile now with the idea of jumping it at ~90 mph, but the problem is the brick wall that's around 200-300 yards past the hump, not a lot of room to shut down in

I figure at 90 I can get maybe 25' of air, don't even want to think about 140 :woohoo:

These are some good stories:) I wasn't the only stupid one out there going insane speeds:P

bumping around at 200 on the ole turbo Martin

:woohoo: :woohoo:

211.0mph timed at 200mph.net's Judgement Day 9 event at RAF Woodbridge UK in 2006. Backed up with a run of 210.2mph. 1984 810cc GPz750 turbo, 30psi boost fixed, intercooled, GT22 turbo.

I must be the loser. I've had my bike up to about 3mph, pushing it from one garage to another.

Stoos

200 km/hour. 1983 kz750.

Lol that is a good one because that I know so well. lol

When I got my 2006 Bandit 1200S nicely broken in, I took it for a speed run just to see if it would do the speed that all the mags said. Sho 'nuff......I saw 249 km/hr (~155MPH) on the digital speedo on a very very slight downhill with a very slight head breeze. At that point she was bouncing off the rev limiter so that was the end of that. I've not gone that fast since...only the occasional blast up to 220 km/hr (~135MPH) or so. That one speed run was enough for me. I doubt I'll go that fast again in this lifetime.
Now that I've got all the little kinks ironed out of the 650, I think I'll give her a try next summer to see how fast SHE'LL go. I've read various reports but all seem to be in the actual 110 - 115MPH range. That's FAST for a 650....but we'll see.

I thought this would be an interesting thread. Not to promote high speeds on motorcycles but just curious how fast you guys have gone on a bike? What kind of bike was it?

Back in my younger days i got up to around 135-140mph on a 1985 Kawasaki Eliminator. I was 19 years old and worked at a Kawasaki dealership. Kawasaki was trying to promote the Eliminator and offered "test drives". The bike was advertised to go 0-60 in 2.2 seconds! I think you were given a free shirt or something for riding it. Anyway, I asked my boss if I could take it for a ride. I took it easy at first but got on it good near the end of my ride. It was a lot of fun and to this day would love to own one!!

Let's hear your story!

the best race i ever had was against a zl1000 eliminator on my 1170,went on for 15-20 miles!!!!!!!!:evil: we would slow down for a couple miles and go right back at it!!!!!!! ah youth:P

I guess I will let you figure it out.....

K J , of the bikes you own,(a nice list of bikes) which is the fastest? Someone told me that my bike would do 180, but I'll never know!:ohmy:

I need to update my list. I sold the ZRX and the Z1R a while back. The ZX14 is by far the quickest and fastest, especially with the mods that make 190 hp to the ground. True speed would be over 195mph derestricted. Second would be the CBR954 clocking a real 174mph. The Z1r with 1200cc and a list of mods could do 165mph over 12,000rpm with race fuel and timing bumped up. Third was the ZRX1200 which topped 147mph stock. The 77LTD has not seen over 70mph and never will as long as she lives here. These are GPS speeds not speedo indications.

Honest truth, a loose,stock KZ1000 will almost touch 130mph real speed with stock gearing. I have never seen one pull redline in top gear either.Dont believe anything else unless it is modded.

Indicated 110mph with passenger on my stock cb900f. Just 85mph on the kz550, didn't care to push it.
