Just had some time in the IOM. Wicked!
August 7, 2005 at 9:46 am #30731GSXR1000ParticipantSaw an indicated 200 mph in the north of the Island, whatever that is in real terms. It felt ‘kin fast, I tell yer!
(2005 GSXR1000, full Akrapovic system, k and n air filter, re-map, 167 bhp at the rear wheel).
Had a 5-mile ding-dong with a guy in a Aston Martin DB9.
Murdered him!
30-150 or so was no contest!August 7, 2005 at 9:51 am #30732RagdollParticipantSo you had a good time then GSXR? []
We’re supposed to be going over for the TT next year as part of a friend’s 40th birthday bash…can’t wait! []There’s a thin person inside me screaming to get out…but I can usually shut the bitch up with chocolate!
August 7, 2005 at 10:20 am #30733imperialdataKeymasterOuch, that’s fast. Not many places you can do that kind of speed. DB9 owner must have been well gutted on his £100,000 purchase!
August 7, 2005 at 5:43 pm #30734barmy_carmyParticipantWot a rush GSXR! Happy to say I’ve been for a good blat today. We went to Portland to see friends, plenty of bikes out and about to play with, was a brilliant day……………and still grinning from ear to ear!

It is the equivalent of covering the length of the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff EVERY SECOND at that speed.
I overtook a German guy on a ZX6-R who was doing about 120 and he said later when we caught up for a natter, that I came past as if he was standing still and the noise as I went by scared the pants off him.
I was doing about 11,000rpm in 5th at the time, not even in top yet!August 8, 2005 at 1:21 pm #30736barmy_carmyParticipantWah Hey! I bet that got your heart pumping Lol! We managed 130mph……allegedly!

August 9, 2005 at 9:38 am #30737GSXR1000ParticipantIt’ll do 95/120/140/165/180/200; in the gears.
Not bad for £9K and £2K mods.
Have it, supercar drivers!
