:shocker: Be careful out there! You know its almost as if i see flashing lights in the distance but it could be the video playing tricks. Quite impressive speeds

A few weeks ago I had a moment when I guy turned right on me in a truck. What I didn't say at the time was I just snicked into top gear with about 160 (on the clock) and I got the bike down to about 25 - 30 mph in an incredibly short distance, otherwise I would be dead now. Due to the ludicrously high laundry bill after this experience, I haven't ventured that far around the dial since, but the F4 is certainly one quick motorcycle.
178 with more power to go. i was riding with four other MV's that day and i think VG32 was about that same speed. Nothing else like a feeling of going over 170 mph's!!
A friend did 318km/h on the speedo... I had only 280 but there was some traffic on the Autobahn. I will try it next weekend to get the 320... :devilsmok
one of you speed demons needs to carry a gps reciver with you on a run.
be nice to get a good velocity reading...
or put a simple bicycle speedo on the mv. i had the sigma sport bc800 on my vfr and it was very accurate - about 1% error and measured using a gps unit.

how fast were you going on the VFR to get the 1% error? fast? I wonder if it's possible that fast tire rotational speed/centrifugal force causes the tire to increase the overall wheel/tire circumference?

but if it was tire growth, it would have to have grown about 6mm. the diameter of that bike's rear tire (180/55) was about 630mm. so for a 1% change in circumference, you'd need a 1% change in diameter.
if i have a gps TomTom unit how would i use it to tell how fast i am actually going? i have never had a chance to play around with it like that and have always wondered how accurate the spedo is.

I actually have a Delorme bluetooth logger that I got to work with my treo (I have tomtom for the treo). I don't think my tomtom 5 shows speed, but the logger is great. You can set it to log (up to 50,000 points) every second, or fraction of a second, or go by distance (ie ever 0.1 mi). it will tell you your heading, long/lat, elevation, and most importantly plot your speed. I use these on my motorcycle rides to log where i go! As for mounting my treo onto my motorcycle, i am still looking into those.
174 mph indicated. I had more to go, but was running up on traffic. In September, I will be going on a road trip thru Utah and Nevada. First the Salt Flats, then Nevadas Hwy 318 and Hwy 50. I can't wait to ride those roads. I will keep you all posted.
