Oh, I hope I didn't confuse anyone when I posted about that last motorcycle that could do 178 mph. It's not mine. I just would LIKE FOR IT TO BE MINE. :-) I have a Yamaha V-Star with the smaller (650) of the two available engines. Here it is:

It will *barely* hit 100mph. It's a small cruising bike that willbarely "cruise." I'd like to upgrade it one day but the wife hasother ideas of what to do with the $ that we don't even have in ourhands yet.

I'm sure that none of you have ever been in that position before.

corrodes the vessel that carries it.

all the bloody time. My bus money has once again turned into stamp duty & legal fees for new house. ( with some off street parking, so potential there )

I know the feeling all too well............

I say, "I need to buy new XXXXX for the bug." Wife says, "How much?" I say, "$$$" Wife says no without a word, only that Death Look on her face.

They would hate me in england I have had a bike doing the 150 mph range a few times, once I was being paid to find out if a Honda 1000 would do the 165mph out of the box like it was advertised. sorry to say I was to light to stay on the seat over 150mph.

I could only wish I had that problem, 300+ pounds and even if I could stay on the seat the bike would never reach its top speed with me on it. LOL!!!

I could not even fathom doing 150mph on four wheels much less two. Not enough brass in me for that. I B 2 chicken!!!!

Want some real fun, toss your leg over a vintage H1 or H2 triple......enough to pucker the sphincter when it gets up on the pipe..........them were the days.....had a H2 750 in the early 80's that used to give liter+ bikes fits stoplight to stoplight......had that nasty habit of dropping the sidestand down at high speeds though....and the chassis was as flexable as Travis's choppergun (hehehehehe) fenders....sold it and got a RZ350....that was a fun bike after ripping off the cats and putting a good set of chambers and pipes on it.....now have a mundane 440 that some wench backed over last fall....another project.....

this seemed somewhat appropriate to link here:

I think the scariest part about the clip is that his front tire leaves the ground at 60mph.. and you don't see a horizon until he passes 140.

Not to mention how 100mph looks "slow" as he deaccelerates.
