You said you wanted to test something fast well the car was fast but have you thought about a motorcycle? I know for a fact that my bike can go 180 mph and it don't take long to get there. The bike is smaller and faster I think it would be cool just to try it and see. My bike is a Suzuki GSX-R 1000 it is fast. Stan

I have. In the 1970's I had a supercharged alcohol consuming Honda dragbike. I've also ridden turbo Kawasaki and Honda "street" bikes that would push 170 mph in only 1/4 mile.
Today's superbikes are VERY quick [although still not as quick as my eight second bike!] and it doesn't take that long to get to over 150 mph.

Yes, there are a lot of idiots out there giving bikers a bad name. Kids with something to prove.

I would like to know if a speed camera or radar gun would even identify a motorcycle. I ride a yamaha 250 and can't even trip a traffic light switch. This would not be speed vs camera but still would be interesting to know.
