So I wanted to see what Pop-A-Wheelie could so I opened her up on a back road out in the middle of no where.  Was going 120+ MPH and still pulling hard.   This bike puts a smile on my face ear to ear.

Video or it didnt happen!

150 MPH on my 2001 FJR1300. No, I didn't take a video, and no, I probably won't be doing it again soon, over here that's a "go straight to jail" speed, but I just had to see how fast it would go before I chickened out...... ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

05 ZX10, 135mph when I looked at the gauges, had no idea I was going anywhere near that on that country highway, shut it down, wasn't even in top gear yet. Wasn't my bike, customer bike.

I rode an old 1989 ZX10 and they were blindingly fast, the new ones leave them for dead.... :o

 In 07 or so a local guy bought a written off ZX10, took it to Bonneville and coaxed 176 mph out of it.. a few Busas were surprised...

Got a 2001 CBR600F May 2015. I just had to test it. 160mph on the digital clock and steady as a rock. I'll restrain myself and not go faster than 150 in future.  ;D
