So far, so fast. 1972 KAWASAKI z1 900 24hr. speed record

Man, how times have changed.

Brave men, pushing a Z1 that hard. I guess the bikes didn't wobble as they only turned left and kept steady pressure on the suspension.

 

March 2009, one set of Angel ST tires on a Hayabusa went over 3,100 miles at an average of a bit over 132mph at Nardo a 7.8 mile round test track in Italy. The tyre beyond all records: ANGEL ST, the sport-touring tyre (pirelli.com) It was great to watch the video and see some many of my co-workers there, here's the video.

 

Yes and now it has its own thread. Dood.

The Cycle World 24 hour “test” with the new GSXR is the best and most stuck in my brain article EVER.
Next would be the RZ350 where KR road it into the sea and had to buy the now ruined bike from Yamaha. Lol

power of the poconos (first heart) in sports rider would be up there. I want to say Papa had something to do with it or year two.

Chainsnstch’s road legal TZ was another.

 

Motorcyclist used to do a 24 hour 600 shootout at Willow Springs every year or every other.
