My '86 model, at about 22,000 miles, hit a top speed of 138mph on the clock, on flat ground with a slight tail wind and a straight run of about 2.5 miles. That...
My 85 with ~49K miles has mileage in the ~40-50MPG in mixed road riding. Recently went for mostly highway riding and it was close to 50MPG. I believe in a...
Is there someone who can help us get rid of this porn stuff? This site is about motorcycles not about helping people make a quick buck in the porn industry....

Same as I do now, about 10.5 stones. If I remember correctly, I had racing leathers on and it was an early evening towards the end of the summer, probably...
Phil, Are you saying it was measured at 138mph, or the speedo said that? If it was the speedo, I'd guess it's reading a bit high. Still, given how fast mine...
Well, believe it or not, I was on it and that's what I saw. The only comparison I can remember is against my mates RD350LC with a YPVS engine in it. On a...
It was on the speedo, or 'clock' as we usually call it in the UK. It's not true speed, we all know they read a bit over. It also wasn't a 2.5 mile standing...
Ah, I wasn't sure if that's what "on the clock" meant or if it was timed somehow. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the "real" speed was closer to 120mph. And ...
I should have guessed that the 130+ mph were reached with racing leathers on, and crouched (I suppose ?). Seems no more unbelieavable. How high were the rpms...

Noel, 138mph on the speedo is totally possible. Like what was said before the speedos on the 500s were notoriously optimistic. But they still haul ass, and...
