I'd like to see what a 1965 Ford Falcon look like over there. If it's like anything like Mad Max, it's got to be sweet 8)1166cc 1/8 ET 6.09@111.88

rotf Hayabusa? Im happy with my GS750B, its the best, most reliable bike Ive ever owned, it just keeps on keeping on!
The '65 ford falcon was a more square shaped vehicle, the mad max style was around the mid to late 70's style XA and XB "hardtop"
if you want to look at the different models (shows a '64 XM, '66XR and '77 XC hardtop), you can go here:

I was on my way into work one morning and a buddy of mine was beside me on his 2005 Harley 1450. We were side by side on a long uphill stretch, and he said we were going 110 MPH ( my bike only regesters 85 MPH ). I pulled away from him a minimum 1/4 mile and he told me he never let out of his little piggy.

fast enough
on my 79 850 i think the needle was around 120 but it was bouncing so much i couldn't tell. if it matters i also had my zx11 up to 170 but the 850 was a lot more brutal.

There are maybe 2 of them in my area, and I don't think they even move. I wanted to buy one recently,but I simply don't have anywhere to put more cars. Ah well, at least my girlfriend has good taste in cars and doesn't mind my obsession with them, though she does occasionaly give me crap about wanting to own every car I see =P~
I have a little Maverick Run a best of 11.96 so far with a normally aspirated 302. Haven't been to the track this year since I have to drive two hours to the track and it's a bit pricey with the kind of mileage I get out of it.

How fast does a Kawi ZX-12 go?
I was chasing a buddie while he was on a ZX-12. He said he couldnt shake me and he was doing 200kph so thats about 125mph. Mind you I think that was as fast as HE could go. Not his bike!

All I can say is that my 83 1100E is faster than the 82's. It's beacasue of the black motor- I'm sure of that.Currently bikeless
