Give us a clue where in the country you are. Im interested if its near me, not so interested if its in Glasgow.

[LordFlathead]

Also would this be on a private circuit not some mashed up public place?

Oulton Park British SuperBikes is next weekend - Any other weekend would be ideal from a selfish perspective.

How about a slow bike?


In the meantime, here's your answer!

I can offer you a 12 year old 50k mileage 650 for the purposes of comparison if you're in Yorkshire...

It's probably not what you're looking for though

Good luck,
Tom

I'd be tempted with this if its in the midlands and a K6 GSXR 750 is good enough?

depending on when / where I have a panigale s?

[thewildblue]

Depending on when & where I have an 08 ZX10R....

[karl922]

I'd be up for this, I have a 2010 gsxr 750.

[Prof Prolapse]

No newbies and less than litre bikes letting the side down...

[Obiwonkeyblokey]

I have an aprilia habana 125 and a death wish, sign me up.

[karl922]

Since the 750 is as quick in a straight line as a first gen R1, I wouldn't class it as letting the side down. Also destroyed a SLS AMG the other day, so fast cars are no problem.

[Prof Prolapse]

You mean the 14 year old one?

[karl922]

Yes but still a thousand...

LiamB on his 'ped?,

[Mr OCD]

No gay 600 / 750's to enter ... end of subject

It's got to be a modern 1000cc ... and something with launch / anti-wheelie control / etc. as launching a modern 1000cc very fast is actually very hard to do.

[VonSenger]

Happy to bring the desmo, what day and where?

Any random litre bike will pull a sub 7 sec 0-100, even with a crap start and a crap rider on board. Getting the "quoted" 0-100 times is well beyond most riders, unless they're used to doing full bore race starts.

Very few cars will achieve a sub 7 sec 0-100, and are very dependent on getting the power down effectively without too much wheelspin. Take a look at the recent Panigale vs 997 GT2RS video Chris Harris posted on here. Harris had difficulty in getting the GT2 off the line effectively.

Hi A4B,

As one of the founders of the UK Land Speed Racing Association I'd be very interested in bringing a bike along.
It would be a road bike obviously as the race one would be a little unfair! Would a ZZR14 complete with paniers be ok (obviously the paniers can be removed)

I cannot email for 24hrs though as I've just joined.
