After reading the fastest speeds clocked pre limiter days I noticed someone mentioned the speed done in a car so…what’s the highest speed you have done on 2, 4 or more wheels?
My highest in a car was 155 mph in a 3 litre Alpha on the autobahn in Germany.
On 2 wheels though at Elvington I clocked 206 mph (true speed) on a Kawasaki ZX 12R which was de restricted from the 186 when new. It was also highly tuned.
In my youth it was the thing to do the ton which I did manys a time on old British bikes but never ever thought I would do double that!
TBH Nothing to it, head behind fairing ,through the gears (0 to 100 mph is 4 secs apparently) and keep going hoping the front tyre doesn’t blow!
What’s this Jakey, a change of image or what?
Are you sick of being slagged off so you’re trying to fit in, and join us ‘‘cool lads’’ who sit on the back of the bus on a school trip ?
Sorry mate, but I can’t help thinking of that Alan Partridge episode when he had the builders in his gaff, and he tried to be ‘laddish’ with them asking if …they watched the match last night, and if they got their leg over, but was shot down in flames…

Mr holier than though coming over to the dark side with his recent posts, what a joke
On my old GSXR1100k (the last of the oil cooled ones) and with a probably optimistic speedo I clocked an indicated 190mph on the Autobahn19 near Thirsk
My race bikes obviously didn’t have speedos but my Blade passed the beam on Sulby straight at 187mph.
I’ve personally only seen 145 in a car, genuine speed with a correct speedometer, dual carriageway slight curves become fairly sharp bends at that speed.
Two of my biker mates were bubbling over with praise for the bloke in a big Merc SL sports jobbie they came up behind, they were doing around 140 and he left them comfortably and rapidly, A14.
Would anyone dare risk it now? sensible speeders i know try to keep under the magic ton these days.

Nope not sick of anything and there’s a few on here I certainly don’t want to fit in with. I always speak my mind and am not biased like some. I just love this forum you know. Always expect the unexpected and you can’t go wrong.
165 MPH in my 5 speed manual 6 Litre XJRS engined XJ12 running on ITB’s,on more than one occasion.Including Basle to Kehl in around 30 minutes and almost 20 gallons of petrol used to cover that distance.
