i have the same ski the 02 F-12X and i was sking at the same place with near enough conditions on the video and i was doing 63 mph. its a good place to ski lough neagh Antrim. i love Honda jet skis.

@kingofrs125 Get yourself a wee anchor and keep it well padded in the front. If you go out past the torpedo platform theres a nice castle with a tower you can climb with great views of the lough (as long as you don't mind climbing gates) I sold mine when my second daughter was born so if you ever need anyone to go out with you let me know :)

that cant go 60 cuz my friend has the exact same and we race and mine only goes 65 and he is like 20 feet behind me

[Indiana255]

@djkurtie yours is going 65, he only finishes 20 feet behind and his isn't doing over 60?? haha. People seem obsessed with calling me a liar on here when the top speed of these machines is a well known fact.

Nice video! I'm test driving the honda r-12x today and it will be my first time on a jet ski... I'm not sure if even going to try to hit 60... Going to have to get use to it. I like the ending of vid, lol

[Indiana255]

@sw29154 Did you get near 60? It's quite frightening how fast these machines accelerate. Did you end up buying it?

[Indiana255]

Haha, it was 60mph. It reaches 60km/h in about 3 secs. Why would I lie? Even if it had been 0-50mph it would still be impressive. Anyone who owns one of these machines knows what they're capable of, have you ever been on one?

There nice skis but I dont like the turbo lag

[sw29154]

@Indiana255, Yes I hit 64, and the next time I maxed out at 72! I luv it and can't get enough of it! I let someone drive it and they wrecked it, cost $700 to fix, can't wait to take it back out.

@Indiana255 id be surpised if he wasnt going over 60.. its a powerful machine

i think i commented about this once before on this video but, IMO that guy in the video DOES NOT perform an ideal acceleration on the honda. ive operated that model many times and the IDEAL acceleration is going not full throttle but just enough so the jet doesnt slip. you can CEARLY hear the jet slipping, which means you lose power. the best acceleration IMO is when you give just enough starting out to prevent the slip until you can apply full throttle!!
