Do you have any road riding videos? anyone can do that in a straight line

[HARISHAROSSI]

@CHOPERUS23 I didn't upload this video or any videos to show that I am fast! I uploaded it for those who enjoy the sound of the bike, and those who can appreciate how fast the bike is. On public roads I don't ride like this, so I don't have a video trying to prove that I am fast in between traffic.

@HARISHAROSSI i had one and sold it . scrotum tearing power but the suspension was too stiff. iam 165 lbs... the brakes had to much bite and not enough feel for my prefference. gas mileage sucked . taking your helmet and plugs out every 70 miles gets boring fast. but i have to agree . not easy to ride hard on the road . i did manage 182 one time though . over 170 at least 12 times or so .. but 419 wet with over 180 to the rubber is brutal ..

cheers

[HARISHAROSSI]

@mushrume I agree with you. 70 miles feels like a lot less. I got a speeding ticket once on an empty freeway going 95, but it honestly felt like much less-I wasn't paying attention. Gas mileage is the worst I have seen on a motorcycle, but I don't care. It is a very stiff and unforgiving bike for the average rider and it is not worth risking a crash, but I would not like to have it sitting in a garage either.

@CHOPERUS23 Some people like just going fast in a straight line... I know i enjoy going hell for leather in a straight line just as much as getting my knee down on winding road. I really enjoyed this clip as it demonstrates the amazing acceleration of the bike!

[galaxything]

would love to race 1 of them here in the uk

[henicktrans]

I really got to hear one of those live soon

[Jaime10able]

Oèèèèèèè !!! DESMO RR RULEZZZ !!!

[Nelso90]

Are you clutching your shifts? I think I hear it, but I'm not totally sure. Are you running the Termignoni double 2 into 1 system as well? That thing sounds utterly brilliant! The 270 degree crank V4 is a very interesting engine.

[HARISHAROSSI]

I am not sure what you mean... The bike doesn't have a quick shifter so I have to hit the clutch to shift smoothly...However, I try not to close the throttle. I am running the electronics and the racing exhaust that comes as an extra package with the bike.

[Nelso90]

I ride a 2002 VFR with no quickshifter or anything, and I usually clutch my shifts. If I get over the VTEC crossover, or I just feel like it, instead of using the clutch, all I do is put a bit of up pressure on the shifter, and when it comes time to shift, I chop the throttle. The dogs in the transmission unload, and it slips cleanly into the next gear as long as you do it right! I have a video of me doing it on my old sabre. But I did it on all my bikes, my CM400, the VF700, and the VFR800.

[yannisGRify]

@Nelso90 try to drive some descent wheels plz!!!!

[Nelso90]

@yannisGRify

I'm sorry, but who exactly are you? I can't tell because you don't have any videos of your supposed "wheels" on YouTube, wheras I do. Furthermore, I ride a VFR because I like it and I don't knock anyone else's rides, because they own theirs for the same reason I own mine, they like them. I don't ride a Duc, because

A:Chiropractors are expensive.

B:They are hard to maintain (ask my friend)

C:They are very narrowly focused, my VFR is not.

And do learn to spell "please" next time.

[robertmike219]

@Nelso90 get 1000cc, never ride on vfr cuz EXTREMELY SLOW

[Nelso90]

@robertmike219

What do you ride? Video or it never happened!

[robertmike219]

@robertmike219 my bike is 2007 suzuki gsxr 1000, i will upload it then let u know ;)

[HARISHAROSSI]

Read the description of the video before you start typing! The bike has just clicked 5th gear and it hits 181mph...If you knew anything about this bike you would at least know that it has 6 gears...Just think then if it can hit 200mph...

[robertmike219]

@HARISHAROSSI add one front sprocket and off 2 rear it will hit bit over 200

[TheDesmoPilot]

Exactly, this guy is at full straight away. 181 is far off from the BS claims that Ducati makes saying it will go 200 mph. Yeah with some head work and HC Omega pistons probably. Not even stock or with that outrageously priced exhaust system, will it go 200.
