I've been up around the 130 mark on motorcycles a couple of times, once on a Honda Interceptor and once on a Triumph Sprint. Looked down and the pavement looked like smoke past my tires. The bride and I used to have as Yamaha FZ1 and would regularly break the ton on that bike, just way too easy, I never took that one to the limit cuz I wasn't sure what that number was.
I'm sure most drivers with decent cars have seen the other side of 100 mph, at least once, just to see if it could.
I've had my GSX-R1000 up to 100 before, and still had people passing me on the road. Even at that speed it's almost loafing along. My previous R600 and FZ-6 had both seen 120. I don't even like getting up that high around here, too much traffic most of the time. I wouldn't mind getting my R1000 out on a track just to open it up, but that's something down the road.
126. I was passing a guy an the freeway to Vegas in my Porsche and happened to look at the speedo. I only remember the number because I was so surprised. It felt like we were doing 70.
140 MPH in a 1968 Pontiac Firebird on a state highway. Stuuupid!!!
Are you kidding me! What?
Yes, stupid, my friend...I have dead friends at just 120 in the parent's '68 Bonneville ...
I had a Catalina, black with red interior....and a' 66 yellow, 289, V8 Mustang....
but geeze!
Lucky for you the road was straight and perfect, because SUV's are NOT drivers cars and are horrible at everything expect a straight line with not other drives around. SUV drivers should always keep to the right and drive slow to stay safe for others.
Obviously you've never driven a Porsche Cayenne GTS / Turbo or Macan or BMW x5m
