What's the highest speed you've ever ridden a bike to?

 

[knightslugger]

145 indicated on my CBR, thus far. 120 on the EX i think.

 

[commuter]

about 100 on the EX (110 indicated). Used to drag race bikes back in the 80's, use to clock 130 on my Kawi triple drag bike, just over 140 on a buddies Yamaha drag bike running it out the back door.

165 on a buddies busa... felt like 100mph, and felt like it had another 50+ left in it without any trouble

I did 140 indicated on my FJ1100 back in the '80's. I slowed down because there was a high, downsloping onramp coming up which might have a cop on it and I didn't want to get a speeding ticket (ha ha). I've gone 115 indicated on my 2006 Ninja 500R which has a 6% fast speedometer at 50mph. So figuring 6% error at 115mph that's an actual 108mph for the little Ninja.

about 165 indicated (bout 150 true i'm guessing) on my street/trackday bike ('00 ZX6R)... Think my EX runs out of revs in 6th at about 105 w/ the current gearing (15/43) but I dont have a speedometer on it.

131 indicated on my 500R (pinned - sixth gear) and 182 indicated on my ZX6R (pinned - sixth gear). Not sure what the actual are though. Maybe 10% less?

Never had the bike past 90. Have had my car past 130 though.

 

[Mad Matt]

I was passing 160 on an R1 and my damn helmet visor popped up! The ol' Shoei RF-700 doesn't have a visor lock. The EX is wound out at 125 indicated.

 

[Guest]

170kph on the EX, for about 100 feet...

 

[dsmmcken]

wait... was that in mph? cause I voted in kph.

 

[SoarAndEnvision]

Yeah that was in MPH

I went 100 once off the Golden Gate going up 1/2 mile slightly upward sloping hill.

I'm scared to go faster

 

[Mulcibre]

touched 100 mph on my old '91 ex500 to make sure the bike rode straight (it did)

80mph on the freeway with the '96 ninja 500

 

[Gunn]

Recently bit the bullet and did 100+ on my '06 Ninja (no more than 110 tho) on the freeway (car pool lane so safe as can be), and i was in traffic and in LA !?!

Dam SUV blocking my lane ...

Done over 125 in a car but that was back in the UK, little 1 litre hatchback (and you thought bikes were unsafe )

Fastest ever is about 140/145 in a friends BMW, but the best has to me in another friends MX-5, only doing 70 but round 90 deg bends, man I wish I had my bike that day, would of loved to race him

 

[hollywood]

BMX or Mountain?

 

[mjbeau]

First bike was a '95 FZR600.... had that up to 147 on highway trying like hell to keep up with buddies on ZX7 (2) , GSXR 750 (2) and a 900RR. Needless to say I was last in line . Was having fun anyhow. ;D

 

[alerbaugh]

138 on my yzf but i can get then ex up to 127 with a passenger

 

[manson.v]

124 mph on my V45 Sabre, around 11:30 at night on the Superstition Freeway in Tempe, Arizona. I was stupid enough then that I would have probably gone faster, except that the front end started to wobble a little, and I think I wet myself.

65-75 is top end for me now.

 

[ommyt69]

100 by speedo. but not sure really ,on my 06 500R ,still working my nerve up to see how much it dose have!

I still have not toped it out yet , but was hitting 120-125 indicated ,guessing somewhere around 110-115 actual ,was not much throttle left ,it really gets crappy MPG at these speeds :-[ had it up there for 15 - 20 mins. on interstate the other week following a little BMW car it was surprising it still had a little power at that speed though!
