NinjaNick Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) Rawlins87 - Wow...the comments are very entertaining. Just about read them all, and their replies. 152mph is not crazy fast in my opinion...Yeah, it's hauling ass...but you can go faster. The commenters act like 151mph is the land speed record or something. Most commenters on stories like this are from people that have no interest in engines or anything motorized for that matter. Plus the ZX14 can get to 152mph and back down to their 60mph speed limit in the blink of an eye...it's really not THAT dangerous unless you sustain the speed.

scottb Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 I wouldn't know first hand or anything like that, but my former Katana was rumored to have gone 156 ( by using the not always accurate speedometer, not GPS) in fifth gear hitting the rev limiter on 271 south near the ski area. Sounds like a lot of wind and by the time you have a chance to focus on something on the road, you have already passed it. I don't think my eyes and my brain function on the same speed going that fast. So that was the one and only "speed blast" I have ever done.

Steve Butters Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 havent gone that fast on a bike since my bike isnt capable of going over 140, but ive done faster in a car....no matter how much you say its not dangerous, it really is....at that speed, by the time you see anything that might be in your path, you have NO time to react before youre over it...any foreign object laying in the road could mean death for you, sustained speed or notnot saying i dont hit high speeds often, just saying that to pretend like it isnt dangerous is a wrong assessment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 "Eighty percent of fatal motorcycle collisions are now the fault of the rider," said State Patrol Chief John R. Batiste. "Half of fatal collisions don't even involve a second vehicle."That bothers me. He says are now the fault of the rider. Almost sounds like they are citing motorcylist if they are at fault or not. I know the rate of single vehical motorcycle accidents are high but the wording bothered me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcat6183 Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Uh.... Funny stuff, but def. not that fast. Mid Ohio's rear straight..., and Putnam's front straight into 1... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Uh.... Funny stuff, but def. not that fast. Mid Ohio's rear straight..., and Putnam's front straight into 1...yea, and mid-ohio is a closed course free of potholes, gravel, animals, cages, and any other misc random thing that can happen....150+ IS fast for public roadsyoure argument doesnt make sense, people do 250mph on the salt flats, does that mean 200mph isnt very fast going down a public road either?

Zach Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 151 mph is about 221 feet per second. That's a football field in less than 1.4 seconds.I don't care who you are or which public road you're on, nobody is good enough to react to the hazards that present themselves.Racetracks are a different animal all together and are irrelevant in this argument.

I know the rate of single vehical motorcycle accidents are high but the wording bothered me.Nope, I agree that doesn't sound quite right. Ohio stats are 80% are failure to negotiate a curve, or are collisions with a vehicle pulling into path. Split 50/50. So the half part is true, but I doubt the 80% fault of rider part. I could maybe believe 40% (the ran off the road half). To get 80%, we'd have to find the motorcycle at fault in most every motorcycle vs other vehicle collision. Not likely to be true. Or the other way is to say 40% running off of road (still a stretch to count it all), half of all vehicle collisions (20%), and all of the other 20% whatever it might be, to get 80%. Still not likely to be true.Just based on statistical averaging, it would be difficult to find one or the other group more than 50% at fault on the average overall.
