220kmh is 136mph
Ive had 145 out of my first ZXR, that was sitting on the redline, but my second ZXR so far ive managed just over 140.
Most bike mags will quote 145 as top speed.

Comet way is a nice straight bit of road, and i love that roundabout by Tesco's you can proper rag it round there with that lovely shell grip all the way round
Yeah I was up at the gonnereah at the weekend and had a looky at rdbt that end - you'll find me there this weekend gettin dizzy lol - need to re learn gettin my knee down, had a nasty hiside 18months ago - thanx to the marvels of the highways authority and their potholes (why do we pay tax again???? got told that a "car" wouldn't of had an accident, so its not a problem.....grr....I'm MORE important than a car, I pay tax TWICE!!! Car AND bike!!) sorry....rant over.....anyhoo, dislocated my shoulder and had a tasty little greenstick fracture of the collar bone (get bupa, NHS won't pin them - they'd leave you to be mishaped, but lully bupa'll pin it properly) kinda made me nervous as that happened off a rdbt. Not whilst gettin my knee down mind, was only doin 30, gravel from pothole had me off....
I was fine whilst tryin out stunts lol!!!

You what!?
Going over from Wellwyn to Comet way is great, its banked in slightly and up hill, give it enough beans and take the racing line you can get the front well light as it crests over
