Fastest speed on a bike

[rev-erend]

OK - dont incriminate your selves.. but what's the fastest you have been on a bike.

I had a call last night from my brother who just did the Nurbergring and 2 up did 165 on his ZX9r..

then had another go sole and achieved 170.

Fastest I've been is around 145 (on a race track m'lud) .. so I'm a bit of a light weight.

An indicated 174 on an early R1.

174 on the clock for me....Sat Nav used to have 169 on it. I just wanted to see how fast the bike would go!!

[odyssey2200]

156 on the clock

[RemaL]

70 on the motorway sir

[Carl-H]

Erm, 95 on the clock (it is a 250 and I'm only 17 so still on 33bhp) with a mate behind on an RS which was saying 105. On the back I think about 135-140.

(Of course I'm bragging really and none of this is true, officer)

[odyssey2200]

Of course all of these events took place on the Isle Of Man where there is no National Speed Limit!

Mine did!

160 on the clock, weird though, doesn't feel that fast does it?

[randlemarcus]

193 indicated on the clock, private test circuit, and it felt bloody fast, specially as my head was watching the armco to the side, with very occasional glimpses at the clock.

TBH felt wayyyyy too fast for 99% of public roads, as the scenery was moving terribly rapidly.

130 for me

[Hooli]

159 as far as i can work out from the revs, speedo only goes to 160 & had left the dial 500rpm earlier. could/should/would have been on my recent(ish) german hoon.

[rsv gone!]

180ish - feels a lot more intense than when I've done 160 in the car



ETA I'm hoping the OP meant "Fastest speed on a bike"

Approx 210mph indicated, too busy concentrating to look to closely at the speedo. On a modified ZX12 obviously on a private test track. Not big or clever.

You’ll have to ask Mrs K1 to get an answer to the posted question but I expect she’ll say something like ‘less than 30 seconds’! In my defence, that was rare, exceptional circumstances!!

Fastest on a bike for me was 175 indicated on the K1200S on a German Autobahn and that seem perfectly safe and reasonable. The bike still had almost 1500 rpm before the red line in top.
