  1. My 748 showed 140 top speed on a track

    Never seen that on the public highway obviously
     
  2. ^^^ come out on a ride, we can sort that ;)
     
  3. I'll be up for a rideout once it's running again
     
  4. It must have been one hell of a track.
     
  5. omg it was Stanforth. Catalyuna ! The main straight which comes off a real fast righthander

    seemed slow though cos gixer 1000's were buzzing past on most laps

    that was when i was single and self employed. Great experience

    I may or may not do this speed on the road of course
     
  6. Why not. It's legal on the Isle of man
     
  7. I could regularly see over 150 out of my '97 BP! Took some winding up past 120-130 and needed a good stretch of, erm, tarmac shall we say. But still one of, if not the best sound in my motorcycling life having a 748 flat out for miles.
    I'm built like a 10 year old girl though and weighed about 9 stone in my leathers back then which kinda helps.
