Re: How fast would you personaly ride?

Re: How fast would you personaly ride?
I agree.
And to kwak, if I have the opportunity to do that sort of speed, with a gurantee that it's only me that COULD get hurt, then fine, fair game. Throw the dice & see what you get. You win some you loose some. Last edited by Baph; 14-03-07 at 12:07 AM. |

Re: How fast would you personaly ride?
Depends on the bike and the road... The SV starts to feel a little lairy above 120mph, I've found (none of your indicated nonsense here ) and my Virago felt like I was one second from death at 70mph, the one time it ever got that high. But on a litre bike or hupersports, with the right screen, I'd be finding out how fast too fast is every time I saw a motorway I reckon.

Re: How fast would you personaly ride?
dont know how fast some of you guy/gals have been but i did a silly 3 figure speed on the M54 a few years ago and yea it was good while it lasted but when i arrived at my stop i couldnt stop thinking about the dangers? on the same motorway i hit a pheasant with my head at 80mph! this nearly removed me from the bike, broke my visor and put some nasty looking cracks in a £200 lid, what would it have done at 150?

Re: How fast would you personaly ride?
If you'd been going at 150mph, you'd have been past the pheasant before he could prepare his attack.

Re: How fast would you personaly ride?
Well I would vote 200mph but then I've never been at that speed so I don't know if I would be happy riding at it.

Re: How fast would you personaly ride?
As fast as the machine will go is my experience so far. But I suppose I havent had a really fast bike yet so I may change that.
