135 on my 93 FZR 600 (gone but not forgotten)
Funny thing is it took me about 2 miles to get to that speed and my brother was walking away from me like I was sitting still on his GSXR1100.. that bike was smokin! He topped out around 160 .. so he says but from my view I would believe it..

BTW, I have done 130 in a car and that is MUCH scarier than on a bike.. maybe it's just me but I felt like I had more control.

About 170 on a ZX-11, the speedometer said much higher but the magazines all said that it topped out at 172 if I remember right so I guess that's what it was with the throttle WFO. This was on a highway at 4 in the morning with no other cars around. There was an odd vibration at that speed too, never figured out what that was...

Hit 150 twice on my 86 VFR 750F. Both times on Sunday morning on a velley stretch of Pa Turn Pike NE extension, no one on the road and no wind and no where for the man to hide. The bike felt very stabel and had some throttle left, but that was her red line and with 50K miles on her a 150 MPH thats fine for me :) . Tunnel vision is a strage thing as you try to adjust you vision up the road for the speed, everything just appears to come out of the same spot! Dashed lines are more or less a solid flasing kinda thing. Oh and the toll takers look at you very mean like when they see you just went 10 miles in about 4.5 minutes :) .
Been up around the 90 to 100 MPH mark on dirt bikes, Had a IT 250 geared up for long wide coal roads, the WR 400 get up there with the 15 tooth counter sprocket too, but I run a 13 or 14 on it most of the time, so its up in the 85 to 95 MPH.
Had my 86 Mustang up to 120 a few times and the motor and tranny have about 20MPH more in them but the suspension and brakes are out of there element at about 110 so I am much more scared to go that fast in the car than I am on the bike.

Pinned my speedo at 120 on my 1972 92ci. H-D stroker about 10 years ago.
Man did that seem fast!

Heheh , funny back pack story, I was going down a long straight hill on the VFR and decided to streach her legs a bit, Hit about 120 fully tucked down on the tank, the air presure on my back pack ripped the zipper open and it inflated like a parachute and nearly pulled my arms off the bars! I started working the barkes and looked in the mirror to see all my text books, my Army personell file, lunch and some other stuff falling in a ticker tape parade in the corn fields. I had to go back and slog through the mud in the field for all that stuff, I left my lunch though :) .

Fastest Road Bike = indicated 175MPH on my Ducati 916 (prob about 165 in the real world)

Fastest "dirt" bike = right about 130 on my CR-500 roadracer, which is now just a little faster in a straight line than the average SV-650 roadracers I run with. (Thanks Eric Gorr, Aftershocks lowered suspension, Sprocket Specialists, shaved fenders, and upside down pro-tapers)

Fastest Car = indicated 179 MPH in my 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera club racer.

Fastest Go-Kart = 121 MPH on radar in my 1998 Haase Blizzard TM/125cc shifter kart, at Seabring Intl Raceway.

P.S. Also had a 1996 LT-4 Corvette 6-speed coupe, that indicated 177MPH

ZIO,

I'm down to a Dodge Dakota R/T and a CR-500 now. The days of Ducati, Corvette, and Porsche followed my AOL stock options, down the tubes. :-(

I hit 105 on my Kawasaki S-3 400 Triple back in '79. That's the fastest i've gone on a street bike. I stopped riding street shortly after that. :eek: I think all the 70s-era Kawasakis had the same high-speed wobble.

I hit an indicated 152 mph in my Porsche 968 Cab and hit the rev limiter in 6th gear simultaneously. Scared the crap out of me! I thought I had blown it up, and I had visions of me spinning down I-459 at 140 mph. It would have been pretty ugly.

Smile, Sean.. At least you've been there. :D

I did a very similar thing to you JasonJ - except I was only probably doing about 80 or so when I lent forward to hide behind the fairing and then the pack opened. It did actually wrench my hands off the bars so was pretty damn scary. My shins caught on the bars luckily otherwise I would have been blown off the back of the bike!! It wasn't a great feeling lying back on the seat and trying to steer the bike with my ankles!! I had to sit down and relax for a while afterwards, it was a bit of a shock.

The stupid things I did when I was young!!
