sorry Canadian guy here
but is this a site about bikes or about math. does it really matter if your bike can go 210. I mean really, after about 150 everything is a blur anyway.I have been in alot of things that go real fast ( cars, planes, choppers ) and there is nothing on the planet that will give more of a sense of accellaration like a good sport bike. Going from 0-60 on a ZX12 is alot more of a rush than say going from 0-300 in a F-18 Hornet fighter jet. I mean lets be real, does it really make a difference if we can make our bikes go past 200.

Yes, it's something I've considered important ever since the ZX-11 first made that a believable possibility for a streetbike.

I will be the first to admit that I am no Rossi or Maladin, so even if my bike could go 200, I don't think I would notice the difference of 210. I would be to busy being scared shitless.

Guess ya got to think like the Bonneville guys when ya want to go that fast. There is a big difference between 175mph and 195mph. I can not imagine what 210mph must feel like, but hope to be breaking 200mph at the Texas Mile. Never been in a jet that went 0-300, but that has got to be crazy. If you all are up for it pop on by and you can see what kind of real world HP it takes. (TexasMile.com) It's tons of fun!

I hear ya..different stokes right !!! For me its not how fast I can go its how fast I can get to 100Klm. After that for me the rush dosen't change much. I do like the 100 to 140 rush too..!
but give me a couple hours of the Tragically Hip on the MP3 player and a twistie road in the Rockies and I get all ' Giddy ' like a school girl. I hope you break that 200 mark and stay safe in the process..good luck !!!

One of the fastest ways (that is pretty fool proof) of getting from zero to 100 kph or 62.5 mph in under 3 seconds at least once is stepping of the roof of a highrise...............

I am not sure of the speed, but jumping out of any airplane with 100lbs of gear on tied to a static line is a pretty good rush. You fall about 20 feet before your chute opens. I know you are falling pretty fast, cant remeber the exact speed your falling though. I do remember only being in the air for about 35 seconds before you hit the ground.

I like the twisties too, but seeing how I live in Texas. There are only a few roads around and I am sure they do not hold a candle to CO.

When I said Rockies I was referring to the Canadian Rockies, specificly the Banff Alberta area.

Yep, different Rockies. Keep warm, it's a little chilly here today also.
I think in the mid 60's.
