155 or so on a much modified '03 FZ1, possibly faster on the GPz 810 Turbo. 140 on the VFR1000, 130 or so on the VMax.

180 kph, you mean.
180? Pull my other leg and it plays jingle bells
It was an indicated speed so who knows the actual speed.
The H2 my cousin had was one scary bike. Ported and troughed with Bassani's. It was an on off machine. Wicked fast and light as hell in the front end. For back in day anyway..
The other bike I didn't care for way back when was a YZ490. That one stood on end. Dont know how I recovered during that ride.
I agree, mine may have went that fast, just the speedometer didn't indicate it, probably as apt to be off one way as much as the other...Don't remember huge talk about the stability of the H1, The H2 seemed to be in the one in spotlight, had and deserved the nickname "Widow Maker".
I enjoyed the original story at the beginning of this thread.
It's really mentally rewarding when you get into a rhythm on the track & keep hitting apex's consistently lap after lap.

We had YZ360s around when I was a kid (I had a YZ125 at the time), but my dad's best friend had a 490. Terrifying bike.
Best responses ever!
A knew a guy who thought my stock Z1 would do 160 (mph) because that's how high the speedo goes. :stupid:

Wow, 174 MPH near Winnipeg on a GS1150? That’s crazy! Thanks for sharing. It's cool to hear real stories like this. It really helps bring the topic to life, especially when most of us can only imagine what riding that fast feels like.
That had to be an absolutely insane 1150. Mine was good for about 140 and that's all she wrote.
I truly believe it's a tall tale. My 1150 was seriously built. 1229 piston kit, head porting, oversized valves, 38 mil flatslide carbs,cams Dyna coils and ignition balanced crank bla bla bla. It would go nowhere near 175.
