VFR Top Speed is ????

had my 5th gen to 145 with givi wind screen and heli bars. It felt good , but when you see that speed it get's skeetchy

 

in '02, heading south from Mono lake in route to death valley a buddy and i hit the throttles (both on 99's). Going downhill mind you... mine read a hair under 160, but sadly, Mikie was inching ahead of me. I'm guessing he had 160/161. That same trip, most of the hwy between phoenix and LA was spent between 135-145 in 114 degree heat - neither bike complained a bit - but we had to stop every 30 for shade and water. I still have the same bike, but now in Brooklyn - she's been stolen and recovered twice (true story), and so far given me 46000 incredible and trouble free miles (minus fork seals and a regulator, and now there's a weird glitch in the instrument panel... urg).

anyway, 159 - personal best.

 

thats an awesome story, what do you got a gps tracking deviece on her?

 

Had the GPS on my 5th gen show 134 close to redline in 6th, but that was with 1 down in the front and three up in the rear. (pretty quick, but not so fast) Probably good for 145, but I haven't tried with the stock gearing.
Got popped by a Pa trooper at 173 on my ZX-11 once, a long time ago. That bike was fast, spooky fast.

 

173 your lucky they didnt impound your bike and throw you in jail... lol

 

And that's just one reason I don't have a liter bike. Too damn tempting. My "only" ~100 hp VFR already gets me in trouble once in awhile! :wink:

 

125MPH at the straight on Thunderbolt NJMP. October 12. noisy.

 

nothing to see here....just passing through

 

If you saw a yellow streak going over the...

Gandy Bridge in Tampa today, it was me. I hit 157 when I was with this crazy kid on a new GSXR750. He hit 184! Such a great day for a ride, too.

The only rub on this run was that when I got to speed I encountered some very unexpected shimmy on the front end. I think it was due to the oscillating road surface (think pre-stressed concrete sections forming the spans of the bridge making that slight roller coaster feel).

It was totally surprising and I had to shut her down anyhow as I was quickly approaching a construction zone. Much fun!

 

Last night about 1am, I hit 10.5~11k in 6 gear. Could not see the speedo.

 

Depends if you've hit ludicrous speed. I've had mine up to 220 mph, but only after the tires were warm; otherwise it'd be dangerous.

 

Hyabusa guys were asking me why my bike was so fast. I told them that that was just the way VFRs roll.

 

youre crazy derek lol ...
im pretty sure i know where youre talking about...
looked like an awesome place to open her up, but traffic was a bitch at the time. i was on a pretty fast and unfamiliar at the time bike, 07 cbr600rr. i managed 165 later on that night in the keys' 7 mile bridge. felt pretty good, except i felt like a monkey fuckin a football on that tiny bike... lol

 

i got a friend with a hyabusa... cool guy, kinda a squid though... taught him how to do endos the other day (wheres the face palm smiley?) hasn't stopped since and is now doing wheelies every chance he gets to now as well... kinda regretting it lol.

 

2000 VFR HAD TO 230 KILOS IT DIDNT HAVE A LOT LEFT, BUT WAS STILL GOING .......RAN OUT OF ROAD....AND BALLS!! BUT i THINK 240 KPH IT WOULD BE TOPPED OUT

 

Can someone translate for me? I R confused

 

Allow me to translate:

I had a 2000 VFR to 142mph, not much room left on the tach. but I was still accelerating, the road was too short to hit the actual top-speed, it wouldn't have mattered anyway because my testicles fell off and hit the pavement 20mph ago, so I laid off the throttle. Had none of this occured I believe I could have got the thing to 150mph.

 

I can't help it, I love to do it...Gandy is under Controlled Airspace, both Tampa International's and MacDill AFB's planes fly right over. This ruled out the potential for any airborne coppers, so I said "WTF! let's go!"

Be advised CRC that 30+ over the limit mean a trip to the clink, so BE CAREFUL!

I haven't been over the 7 Mile in forever I'd love to see how fast I could make it...

And yes, those 600's are totally different...small and light...165 is impressive

 

yeah i heard that the 7 mile is air monitored from time to time...
nonetheless the other day me and busa boy made a trip to key largo.
pulled to 140 and then backed off... was fighting a 40 mph head wind and didnt feel that comfortable... next thing i know, vrrrrrrroooom(more like a the fastest hoover youve ever heard) he flew by me at probably over 170!
insert facepalm lol....

 

I know just what you mean...

...so the GSXR Kid and I head to the approach of Gandy and I hammer it...he realizes that I'm gonna blast off and by that time, I'm already at 130 or so...

I'm checking the mirror to see if he's with me, and he blows by me like nothing...goddamm kids on Suzukis! And off we went, probably got a good half mile or so ahead of me by the time I hit 157 - he was at 184...

Too much fun!
