tilbury, is this one of your buddies? :mrgreen


Fastest ever YouTube speeder

UK's fastest speeder appears on YouTube

Police are looking for what appears to be the UK's fastest ever speeder, after a video was posted on YouTube showing an indicated 189mph on the A417 in Gloucestershire.

The on board footage of a Kawasaki ZX-10-R has been viewed 8,000 times.

It's the latest video in a series of similiar clips that have prompted Police to raid house, seize computers and spend vast amounts of time and resources on trying to track down the people who make the videos.

Inspector David Collicott, Gloucester Police’s Inspector for Traffic Management and Road Safety, said: "We will be examining the footage on YouTube to try and identify the rider and his associates with a view to bringing them to justice."

.......prompted Police to raid house, seize computers and spend vast amounts of time and resources on trying to track down the people who make the videos.........

There's pounds well spent.

lol, i reckon his speedo is about 20% fast.

Sounds like we should watch what we post on the TUBE...

hahaha they won't find em

Probably a 'demo' bike :mrgreen

I saw the article in MCN about the cops raiding houses &
confiscating computers & stuff.They wouldnt do that if
had been caught with a Gatso or hairdryer though woulod
they?

gearing and a different size tire will do that for ya...:lmao

:yes at least. :lol


Ride safe.

I wonder how many of us have seen the max speedo reading on a public road?
hmmmmmmm

I wonder how many of us have seen the max speedo reading on a public road?
hmmmmmmm


Wonder how many of us do that on empty county roads and not on busy highways though? hmmmmmmmmmm :lmao

hmmmmmmm

me......never.

gotten close to it at cali speedway going down the front strait, but that's it. i've had her up fast before, but never pegged.

It's tilbury:crash

that can't be mph

I've seen it once on the O2, but it was 4:30 am in the morning with no other car in that particular long straight part of the highway. It won't "indicate" more than 299 kph, but rpm still climbs a bit... :mrgreen

On the O4, almost, just 2 kph below. :crash

that can't be mph

I'm with you on that one hey. It just doesn't feel right. But I've never ridden a ZX10R.

Similar to me, but I was 3:30am with no one except me, a mate and three police squad cars. :crash

My feeling is that ZX-10R HAS to be turbocharged. And at low speeds it appears to have a loud/open exhaust similar to a tubro setup. That's my guess anyway.

But that is signifigantly faster than my 0 ZX-10R was.

Hopefully things like that don't happen in the States here. Shows like superbikes surely don't help the community. I'm hoping they don't crack down here like they are starting in cali and as it appears in the uk as well.

I... a friend allegedly once did an indicated 187 on an 03 R1. Between Vegas and a lil town called pahrump (where the legal brothels are). Not a car on the road and m i l e s of straight open roadway.

Spare me the rest of the story... :lol

I think you're right, the way it hit the red line...

Ahuh.
That would explain why the acceleration feels all wrong. :thumbup

Wonder how many of us do that on empty county roads and not on busy highways though? hmmmmmmmmmm :lmao

Although dangerous, there is definitely a difference... I've only done it twice, when I had my 02 R1. That was in the back country of Oklahoma where you could have it pegged for a couple mins, never see a turn or another car/home anything.... :oh

That said, I won't be doing that again anytime soon
