Bikes nowadays are much lighter (and probably a little faster as a result)...but I remember being able to powerslide the FJ1100 in 2nd on sharp 25-35mph curves. Yes, I do mean breaking the rear wheel loose and sliding it at speed around curves. I didn't do that often, but it was quite doable.
It's also the fastest I've gone on any land vehicle at 163mph (indicated). I suppose if I ever remove the speed limiter on the Camaro, I could probably go faster than that  |
Yup the FJ1100 and the V-Max was the sh*t and it did take curves good
