soubriquet 0 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I maxed at 120mph. This one's a bit faster than my 850 Suzuki. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=531_1188170101 Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Thats quite fast! Suddenly he seems to push a "rocket" button. I have a friend who has a beast of a bike, he loves going up to the Scotland wilderness and riding round up there - long stretches of good road, nobody about, stunning scenery.

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Do bikes have a nitro button?? Cos that what it seems like, the engine sound totally changes as he accelerates up to 176mph. Did anybody watch the video below it, plane crash in Poland?? **** me, your no surviving that one!! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Saw that yes. Nice vid soubs. Do you ride a bike here in Japan? Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 No nitro button, just 10,000 revs when it comes on to the cam. Watch the rev counter. I'd love another bike. No money for toys. Link to post Share on other sites

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I'd really like to get a bike and motor along open country lanes like that. Perhaps not in the rain. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 on a wet M25 on a sat afternoon in the days when the M25 only had 3 lanes, I managed 95MPH on a CX500 before bricking it 'cos it was soooooo windy. Didn't have a fairing. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 I tried turning off the M25 onto the M4 at about 75mph on my Suzuki. The rear dampers were shagged, and it tried to throw me off. That was a tank slapper. Link to post Share on other sites
