TBH Dave I don't see the point of having a bike that is capable of whatever mph when you cant legally take it to those limits anyway.
Maybe one of the bikes shown in the clips is a nano second quicker than the other, which is ok for bragging rights, but in all honesty, so what :wacko:
:agree:
ok :surrender: three against one.. if there's any more :wink: will change the "three" accordingly :mfr_lol: In all honestly.. :yes: :agree: but this is just a long standing windup between myself and my mate :smiley: plus I was board :yes: so just thought I would share theses clips with you :grin: forgive me..!
Oh dear, just to clarify Dave , I wasn't having a go at you personally, which I think is what you have interpreted (sorry I got a bit lost with your use of emoticons)
My comments were, as the always have been, aimed at the continual competition between simular bikes and their relative minute performance differences.
Its a method used by Journalists and marketing folk to sell their products, and I don't see the point.
Maybe if they marketed a good, well equipped touring bike which was reasonably priced and was able to return on average more than, say, 60mpg, now that would be summat to crow about

:agree: Not sure of the point of doing those kind of speeds on public roads. Perhaps we should ask the opinion of the rider who was recently caught doing 151MPH in West Sussex. He got banned for 12 months, has to do 200 hours of unpaid work and has to pay £600 costs. And I am not having a dig at you either Dave. :banana:
