| Re: Hi to all the other Aussies out there From the numbers Ive seen on my own speedo 4000rpm @ 100kph, 8000rpm @ 200kph, theoretically the blade should do 300kph @ 12000rpm in sixth if you can get it to pull 12000rpm in top? (think the rev limiter is set at 12,200rpm) Maybe with a pcIII, full system (also on a cold day as close to sea level as possible) you will have the best chance of pull maximum rpm in top but the std blade definately doesnt have the berries to pull max rpm in top gear, so I wouldnt bother gearing your bike up unless you have some serious engine work done to it to allow it to even take advantage of the std gearing! Anyway hope you a sucessful in you quest to crack the big 300, something I would like to do myself oneday!

| Re: Hi to all the other Aussies out there I don't think the Blade is made for +300 speeds. To me, the Blade has other special quailites which +300 bikes don't have.
If you want to break the sound barrier go for an XX or the new ZX-12.
Just my opinion.
I'm still happy with 275km/p  |

They are charging $165 for the day
Call 59759522 ask for Paul, Brian or Bianca.
Would be good to meet another felloy org'er 
May be Will could turn up for once..........nah probably not, he wont even turn up for free rides  |

Me and my missus are presently building a new house, so I know how the money situation is, but is was easier to convince her that it was a good idea for me to do a track day, by getting her to do it as well, now I just hope the CBR250RR doesn't beat the CBR954RR
Don't worry about getting the PC3r unless you plan later on to change cams or compression etc, you will be paying for features you never use, not sure about the functions on the new usb power commander yet o | |
