Are you smoking drugs? This is an estimate but fairly close 1st - 120kph 2nd- 160 kph 3rd- 190 kph 4th- 230 kph 5th- 270 kph 6th- 300+ kph Those things have an unbelieveable top end. Have you seen ghost rider? Thats a Honda but they are still very similar in their speed and it doesn't even blink going from 150kph to 250kph. And by 200kph your car would be skating all over the road and trying to spear itself into the nearest wall. Face it dude you need a serious drag car setup to have the pace on one of those bikes

Top speed on an R1 is 295kmhr, my car is only winding up at 180, and is very stable at high speed. Im confident of taking an R1 rolling because my car has huge topend and is capable of hitting the limiter in topgear (7000rpm) And running 30psi your vision gets blurry under acceleration...

HAHA you cant be serious surely...... Get off the magic musshies mate there aint no way your car will beat an r1 or any thousand cc roadbike for that matter...... They excelerate 20 times faster than your car you just wouldnt do it...... By the way an r1's top speed exceeds 300+ kph and theres a huge difference between that and your car winding up at 180...... I have yet to see a vl stable at high speed..... I spos if you chucked 300 kilos of concrete in the boot it maybe hahaha Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah mine feels okay at 210-220kph but I don't feel safe cornering at those speeds! haha Okay next time we are out its on Rob- me and you then once you annihilate me I will admit you have a mild chance of keeping sight with an R1.

Get BEWARE to race him from 150-300kph then watch the rotor get smashed. Or try stopping from 250kph or try turning or try sounding good, or try having a decent quality machine with good materials, or a host of other things that makes an R1 so damn hot and a rotor just old school trash really.. Anyway steve I never said it can't be done, just not by Rob's car or anything like it. Maybe one of those wanker VLs with painted underbodies, chrome nuts and bolts, rollcages, billet inlet plenums and 150mph potential...
