I just read a mag that had the McLaren F1 in it, it's fast, and i downloaded a video of a guy going 391 Km/hr(241Mph), and it's quite fast, anyway i was wondering if any of you have or has done any timings on your bikes, just would be kinda cool to know the speed of our bikes.

I think it'd be roadandtrack.com, cause thats what magazine it is in. And wow that is a nice car. They had the McLaren F1, Porsche 959, and Ferrari F40, all in one magazine. I almost cried.
Not sure about top speed but Flash's ('82 XL500r) 1/4 mile times are:
14.734 sec. @ 86.12 mph.
("Motorcyclist" magazine sept. 1982)
Sorta lackluster eh?
But i'm sure that was measured -w- some skinny 150lb. editor on board.... :confused:

0-60? I don't think my YZ250F will even do 60 mph! I'll bet I could smoke that McLaren down a two-tracker though. Especially if it was whooped out! LOL!
I keep wondering when the sport bikes will break the 200 mph barrier. I'll bet one of those GXSR's would give that car a 1/4 mile run for its money.

I remember years ago....15 or so....that one of the bike mags...either Dirt Bike or Dirt Rider did a test on a CR500 in 1/4 mile. I wish I could remember what the result were but I know they had problems with wheelies and burnout.
I plan to dual purpose my CR500 and I have every intention of trying out a 1/4 mile. I'm not sure if the insurance nazis would allow a strip to let me run it, but we'll see. :cool:

These are not the fastest cars on the road but here are the results of the 2002 Big Bend Open Road Race. The race was shortened to 20 miles from the normal 56 (if I remember correctly) because of fog on the course. The fastest of the unlimited cars was timed with radar at 210 mph on one stretch of road. They don't allow bikes and probably never will because of TXDot requirements/concerns. The course is US385 between Fort Stockton and Sanderson Texas.
Now often do you see a NASCAR car running on the street.

The latest big bore sport bikes are reported in the mags as doing 1/4 mile times in the high 9's. The 'Busa and the ZX-12 were the two I believe. The 'Busa for sure. Pretty darn fast and impressive considering the bang for the buck as compared to high performance automobiles.

I downloaded the video of the mclaren f1 from Kazaa, that thing was screaming, not to stear off my own topic but wouldn't a street bike going over 200mph have problems with areodynamics, just a thought.
No one has ever timed there bike? It's gives you something to brag about, maybe.
