I hope this post can be of some use to someone.. I know I wanted to see a video like this when I was looking at buying my SV.

The bike is a 2003 Suzuki SV650S K3. Only mod to the engine is a K&N Filter. I don't even class that as a mod but it saves someone asking the question later...

Filmed in 1080p for your viewing pleasure. Wet road and steady (slow) start so 0-60 is a little low.

There's a reason why people do not post videos speeding generally.

Especially past a thirty sign. Open roads all good but not by residential bits.

Reminds of a fella from my town did put up a vid on youtube called "how to exit limavady at 150mph" the plonker apart from being a well bellow par rider ride from and back to his house in the video. Up in court the next week :smt101

Time and a place for speeding and wheelies.

Wet road.

30 and 40 limits.

Multiple hazards passed.

Wheelie past a garage.

Well done.

Enough evidence for Dangerous driving I reckon.

No real chance for that silver car to see you at that speed. If the forecourt was full or whatever, he's u turned, you'd be my next file. I work in serious personal injury. I'd be looking for a serious % of contribution from you of at least 50%.

And if the police found the footage from your crashed bike (It happens, I had a claim which made the front page of MCN a couple of years ago for this very reason), you'd be looking possibly at prison. The guy from my claim did 6 weeks inside, lost his licence for 18m pending an extended retest and his job. Also a multiple fracture left leg break whichwas unlikely to ever be quite right again.

I'd suggest taking the video down, and posting another one on a bit of road as MattSV suggestd, in a 60/70 limit, on dry roads, where you are only likely to lose licence if plod does a s29 DPA request to utube for your info and uses the evidence. You don't know who on a forum is a copper.

There's lots of coppers on this forum. All decent people and I can't see any of them being any more likely to be reporting this video than 'AN Other' member.

Still not a clever thing to do putting the video online, any more than it's clever to have recorded it in the first place. By no means is your anonymity assured just because you think there's nothing to identify you in the video itself. If the coppers ask the administrators of this forum for the email address behind your account and/or the IP address you posted this thread from, they are on record and the forum admins are not going to get themselves in bother by refusing to provide it. Similarly Youtube will provide the same information if requested and your ISP is also legally obliged to give the police your name and address, once they have your IP address.

A chap my brother in law knew went to jail as a result of recording himself doing 170mph in a 60 limit and posting it online. There was nothing to identify him in the video, but they did a dawn raid on his house and seized the SD card with the video on. He owned the correct model of bike, had possession of the camera, had no alibi for where he'd been at the time, it was posted from his broadband connection, to his youtube account, etc, etc. More than enough evidence and 100 in a 30 would be viewed just as seriously. Plenty in the vid too to identify your bike, at your mileage, your gloves, your keyring, etc.

Don't be an idiot, take the video down, and don't do it again!

There must have been some sort of strom whipped up by the local paper or something which forced the police to act though surely? As far as I'm aware, the police don't bother with this sort of stuff unless they have too - there's so much of it about and it's hard to get a conviction.

All that aside - the times could probably be a bit lower still if he wasn't using the clutch...

Personally i wouldve found somewhere a little less built up tbh.

You must be a lightweight bloke, when i had my sv, the only way my front wheel would lift is with the clutch, it certainly wouldnt power wheelie, even if you bounced it off the throttle stop as fast as you could.

Even my much more powerful sprint will only do it if you try hard.

Btw if anyone wants to see a bit of a weedy (but legal) 0-60 run -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE0IHBg5aBc

Poor lad's letting the clutch out at 1,500 revs and wondering why he can only manage 5.5 secs!

I aint rode a sv in 3 years, im not a fast rider but i reckon i could jump on one right now and do sub 4.5 secs straight away, the sv's power delivery is smooth so nothing imo to get you into trouble.

Btw, its not big or clever to speed :silent:

Nope, he had a few videos. If it's bad enough, they will do you for it.

I see, appears so from Ralph's anecdote too. Not that I'm condoning it but I take it the likes of Ghostrider et al who know what they're doing will simply upload from an untraceable IP address, like an internet cafe? (If they still exist - it's not 1998 anymore)

I've always thought the SV is really easy to launch fast too - enough power and torque to blast you off the line at a fair pace but not enough that you have to worry about wheelspin or wheelies. Especially when you're 17st. :-) Just dial in about 5000 revs and let go.

From the vids I've seen, even very capable riders have to ease more powerful bikes very carefully off the line and can't use all the power. Eg -

12-01-13, 04:38 PM

the police don't bother with this sort of stuff unless they have too

There are rules and guidelines to prevent the police from picking and choosing what to bother with.

An individual copper may not bother having seen the video, but if a member of the public makes a complaint about the video, then Police are obligated to investigate.

If they then become aware of an offence, they are not allowed to ignore it.

If they then deem there sufficient evidence, or have reason to believe sufficient evidence will become available in a reasonable timeframe, and a prosecution is in the public interest (100mph in a 30 limit ticks that box) then they have to gather evidence and refer it to the CPS for prosecution.

Court guidelines say if there is at least a 50% chance of a conviction, then the CPS should proceed with that prosecution.

So, all it would take is a member of the public to see that video on youtube, take umbridge with it, and send a link to the police with a complaint, there becomes an official record of that complaint, and from that point forwards the wheels are in motion and if you can be successfully prosecuted, then you will be.

The OP is totally reliant on nobody wanting to be a grass.

(100mph in a 30 limit ticks that box)

Actually, he maybe only did 90 in a 30 limit, if there's been no change to the limits since the google car went through, then it changes to a 40 here

but isnt twice the limit in any given limit, usually resulting in a ban if caught?

Not talking about videos but if the police were to catch you red handed via a roadside scamera or being chased by the police.

It's a trip to a court room at the very least, which is likely to result in a ban.

http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/p_to_r/road_traffic_offences_guidance_on_fixed_penalty_no tices/#speed

But this case with such extreme speeding, wheelies, built up area, etc would be unlikely to be prosecuted as speeding, but as dangerous driving IMO. Minimum 12 month ban, possible 2 year jail sentence.

Right, err Well. Here's a message to the OP.

Thank you for the informative video, I myself have found it useful just to show people how quick my bike can go off the mark.

I'm sure you aren't stupid and are aware of the dangers of posting this online, so aren't going to lecture you on what you should and shouldn't do whilst riding your pride and joy, that's what mommy's for.

Enjoy riding and do what you want

Disagree totally. Nobody has a right to do what they want if that means they could kill another road user in the process. That's why we have traffic laws and enforcement, because clearly, many can't be trusted to make sensible decisions for themselves.

I doubt those that have given him some grief over it give a damn what his motivations in posting it were. It could be a member of their family hurt by such idiocy. They have an opinion on it and they are entitled to post that opinion on an internet forum if they wish. What did he expect? He's lucky to just get a lecture and that there's nobody on here barsteward enough to send a link to the police.

13-01-13, 09:57 PM

Why what happened?

IIRC correctly.

He was identified by the video footage posted on youtube / gixerjunkies.

He had his bike and all his riding gear seized
His computer & memory cards seized
His camera gear seized

I cant remember any more details than that, but he was on about being prosecuted at one point and they tried to throw the book at him. I cant remember what was in his video, a few wheelies and some speeding, but it caused him an awful lot of stress and heartache whilst it was being dealt with and I seem to recall it took several months.

The actual threads where he talked about it have been deleted, I could only find this one that he put up once it was sorted out...

http://www.gixerjunkies.com/forum/showthread.php?97702-So&highlight=

Remember, like gixerjunkies you dont have to be a member to read posts on here, what you or I might think is harmless the police might take a dim view of it, particularly if a member of the public makes a complaint about your riding...

By posting the videos in an open forum, you are giving them ammunition... so think about it before you post it up...

Now, I'm not one to harp on, when it come to anyone having what they perceive as fun on their bike BUT I have to say, on viewing the video, I did wonder "what were you thinking posting it on youtube..." .

If you are going to run 'the risk' with a video, it'd be nice if it's atleast a really interesting one ;)

Anyway, it didn't look as dangerous as it's being portrayed in my opinion...but that's not the point.

How fast does an SV650 accelerate? Fast enough for a gurls bike is all anyone needs to know :p

Lastly, the coppers on here may be decent folks but it's also right and proper(perhaps , I'm just old fashioned) to appreciate and respect that decency.

13-01-13, 10:07 PM

I seem to remember a guy on another forum wrote a blog of his time in jail. It wasn't a youtube video, it was a fatal accident, but his posts from a forum were used in court to prove that the guy was in the habit of riding like a nobber.

LOL. Moving at the same speed as the other traffic, on a motorway where all the traffic is going in the same direction, they are not actually that likely to kill anyone else, though they could really spoil somebodys day. Its differentials in speed which kill people.

If he didnt want a lecture on what he should or shouldnt do then the safest way to avoid that would have been to not post in the first place...

After what happened to the lad on gixerjunkies, I personally would be very very wary of posting anything that was remotely self incriminating on youtube or anywhere else.

True it wouldn't have been funny if she'd aquaplaned and hit one of them.

In her interview in the programme though she says she did get prosecuted (3 points), and lost a job offer because of it.
