i did around 250 before i shit and braked for turn 1 at pi but there was still heaps to o.

Had the 05 zx12r out to 1 test and tune
ran 11.8 at 142mph and thats 3rd gear, so im pretty sure that it'd do the restricted 300k's without a drama. I'm to much of a whimp to look down at the speedo at those speeds.

I have the restricted model ZX12R, so mine only does 299km/hr

my zx7r 97 i sold, i think could get up to 240kph before i run out of road

220 km on 97 zx6r but geared low so not sure what it would get with standard sprockets, I was passed by red_roo on his tlr like i was standing still, scared shit out of me

270 indicated, 97 ZX9R. Speedo overreads though. Still, fairly quick and it had more in it, I ran out of road and I had a tankbag on which stopped me getting down out of the wind.

1996 ZZR600 which are a heavy pig of a bike i've seen at 230kph indicated, Melbourne-Geelong freeway pre speed cameras, backed off at that, had a little more so maybe 240 flat stick, but yeah, speeding is irresponsible so it wasnt me riding my bike.

I have independent witnesses, no pictures required .....

Witnesses? Sorry mate, I wasn't looking in my mirrors

Damn all you big capacity riders (all of you) hehe

I always have my speedo covered up @ track, but have seen 20k rpm in 5th down the main straight of EC.

Have seen 160 in other places

Top gear rev limiter at WSID....... shortly after bang,ratlte,rattle,rattle. The result of overboosting. I can't remember the speed but i assure you it was much less than the cost of the rebuild.

2003 zx6r, 260 indicated down the straight at EC

Well I used to see 270 kph (indicated) regularly on the old CBR1000FH, (10'500 rpm / 6th) one of the good things about living in the outback .
I guess if you believed the statistics, doing that speed every friday arvo for around 3yrs should mean I am dead . Well Fu*k me they are WRONG. LIE'S, DAMN LIE'S & STATISTIC'S Since moving to the coast the best I have seen is 240kp/h @ 10'500rpm / 4th on the ZRX, never opened out 5th gear .
Bloody cop's have me too paranoid (licence vulnerable) to actually enjoy my life

Roger that on my '96 model.
