In the standing 10 feet it went faster than anything I've been in.:laughing

At least they checked the oil first (rag in static image of video)

How many here have gone 200? How much past that? (cars or bikes, not planes or jet skis)

 

[Cycle61]

That's goddamn fast.

I've been in the 165-170 range on race bikes, and that was enough for me.

 

[Reli]

Jet skis? Those are slow as shit.

I don't think even cigarette boats can break 100.

 

[Karbon]

I've gone at least 700mph on my most recent flight to Portland.

That’s a pretty damn exclusive club. I’ve done a lot with fast cars and bikes, but never come really close to it. Should be interesting if anybody here has done the double ton.

they do with ease these days. i think theres also a production wave runner that gets up close to 100 off the show room floor with a little tuning (ive read theyre restricted to 65)

 

[Shaggy]

Bloody hell, that’s fast! I’d love to see some cockpit footage.

 

[bikeama]

I just want to take a ride in the passenger seat. :teeth

That reminds me. I have to find all that footage I have from like 20 years ago of all the open road racing my dad and I did.

Pretty sure I once did over 200 on my k5 gixxxeer 600. I had tuned carbs,no air filter, and smog delete. I’m sure if I woulda got a dyno I woulda easily hit it in 6th with more on the hammer.

17/38?

I've only been up to 165 or so. 300 is insanely fast.

There is no such thing...72-74 is about as fast out of the box that can be had.

196 on the speedo on my z06 is the highest I got ever. Not sure of real world speed. I only did it due to a nice tail wind of a very straight road with minimal camber.

 

[mean dad]

Readout said 176 on an '05 GSXR1K and was still pulling when I rolled off. I'm sure it was very optimistic.

If the road was empty I'da kept it pinned longer.


I've entertained the idea of buying a 'Busa just to see how fast they go, then sell it before I get arrested or dead. :laughing

I did 134mph in my 1994 Honda Accord. That poor 4 speed automatic transmission was tapped out. It was driving across Utah in the middle of nowhere. I kid you not while at that speed, a Chevy Tahoe or similar SUV passed me going probably 20 mph faster ��

 

[Blankpage]

Hwy 4 between Pinole and Martinez saw an indicated 145 on an R1. Obviously had more in the bag but was thinking of how a deer or police laser could so easily ruin your day.

 

[budman]

That was impressive.. a lot of motorheads cheering...! arty

For me.

A buck eighty two on GPS and 155 on Radar. Both on bikes.

Car..?? Close to a buck fifty in my Wife's old car.. sucker was floating.. and scared the hell out of my buddy Pit Ho who was a passenger. Made me nervous too..
