Sunday in Berlin............

[delboy]

Went for a ride on Sunday, so headed up Autobahn 10 to Potsdam. Nice road and no speed limit, so riding in the middle lane at 100mph I see a bike closing fast, he slow and passes me to let me see his new bike. Its a black ZX1400, I have to follow, so off we go, for 6 miles at 150mph with no more that 20 meters apart. The Busa might be 0.1 secs faster on the strip but on the open Autobahn there is nothing in it, wind was a little high so 150 was about fast as both of us wanted to go. Roadworks stopped the fun, and with a wave he turned off. I continued to the next turn off to a biker cafe at Spanische Allee, to have a look at the bikes. My Busa was the only one there, most are HD and HD look a likes.....

I was wondering what that meant myself.

delboy,

What do you mean by that? Did he outrun you, or vice versa?

 

[SpeedAdict]

Nice pics man thanks

 

[Revolution]

i took it as "there's no difference at speed"...?

i am curious if that's correct?

nice pics, thanks. oh, and you put "super" gasoline in your bike? is'nt it supposed to take "regular" ?

 

[delboy]

OK guys I will explain, I did not out run him but think I could have,in situations like this it just depends on who has the biggest dogs, (ie crazy MF) As I said, the wind was effecting both bike at 150, I had buffeting from the DB and that made it hard to focus. You must remember Autobahn are not race tracks and it's not big or clever to max your bike out on a public road.  

Will try again next weekend

My Busa is a UK model, recommended fuel is 95 octane (Super in Germany)
