I've been past 130 a couple of times whilst on the German Autobahn once I looked down and saw 143 but these were all for a couple of seconds before quickly slowing to a much more sensible speed.

Going more than 120 on either my SV or my Blade is terrifying and on a public road is just dangerous. The wind at those sorts of speeds is enough to push you off the back and the sound of the wind, even with ear plugs in is deafening. Not to mention what would happen if you got caught by the rozzers.

Not preaching or anything, good luck to you if that's what you want to do.

I was going to add that last night but couldnt be bothered - just becuase you specify "road", doesnt mean you was in the UK

You need a better screen and/or MTFU

SRAD with barn door fairing barging a big hole in the air for you and a race screen was scary because there was no wind! at 150+!!

Then again, EXUP was a streetfighter, I ripped some muscles in my back and shoulder hanging onto that bugger!

I agree. Corners is where the fun is at!

256 mph in a car park, when my speedo sensor failed

165mph on my Firestorm.

Throttled off and stuck my head out the bubble and got double vision from the wind blast. "Agh! Two corners!"

After spending years on 110mph ****ters, getting so easily to 130/150 was a revelation. But ultimately one of the reasons I got shot to get a nekkid. It only does 155mph. Piece of carp!

MTFU.

Putting the front wheel down from a 135mph wheelie is great fun, you should try it some time.
