ATF Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I've done over 250 on Silom and over 300 on highways. You can't get up to 300 on Bira. Not that I know of anyway. I wonder. I recently saw some youtube clips of some guys hitting 260+ on the back straight in Bira and they were going round in about 1'08" / 1'09". Colin Butler's lap times are around 1'03". I wonder what speed he hits on the back straight. Troy Bayliss top speed 261 lap time 1:3:64 but I have seen vids touching 280. Sure someone could hit 300 but it would only be for about 1 sec.

H1w4yR1da Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) I love riding, I am considerate and think about others, I do not drive fast but always keep up with traffic providing that traffic is not speeding, I am in no hurry to get past anyone and can wait until it is safe to pass without endangering anyone else on the road, patience is something that will save your life, speeding will kill you eventually!! Driving here is fine in Phuket, if you keep your speed down you will never have a problem, drive fast and many things come into play, pot holes, poor road surface, dogs etc, drive fast and you risk your life!! Remember the last title, be safe be cool!! it's not cool and it's not safe to drive at high speed on public roads!! I'm just so tired of your constant preaching! Am I the only one?

papa al Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Actually the speed limits ive seen is 120km/h ,Saying that its quite rare to see any signage relating to any speeds . I've never seen a speed limit sign, I said 90kph because that's the speed limit on the one major road here in Phuket! Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand Except on motorways, which are off-limits to bikes, I believe the maximum legal speed is 90kph, according to the cops running the speed trap on national highway 2. This reiterates the signage posted there. I was nicked driving my car @ 120. Please correct me if I've been misinformed. ...Greg....?

kaorop Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I have 4 bikes over here, 3 which I ride regularly, A Keyway Superlight 200 (Cruiser), A Liffan 200 dirt bike,a 20 yr old Honda 125 wave with a Thai sidecar attached which I use as a van, & a Kawasaki Kasi 125 scooter which just the family use now. I don't go faster than 90kmh on ordinary roads as any quicker than that you don't have time to dodge potholes, dogs etc. The only time I go faster is on big main roads when I try to keep ahead of the traffic to avoid being cut up by thais all the time. Iv'e done 42500km's in 2 1/2 years here so far & have 1 minor accident where a Thai turned into me as I was overtaking. Iv'e driven bigger bikes for 35 years in the UK & on the whole I'd say it's safer over here as you don't have the same high volume, high speed traffic that you get in the UK, I might feel a bit differently about that if I lived in a City instead of Isaan though, I guess...Driving here is fine in Phuket, if you keep your speed down you will never have a problem, drive fast and many things come into play, pot holes, poor road surface, dogs etc, drive fast and you risk your life!!One big important thing to consider here in fact anywhere, if you are breaking the law and have an accident any insurance you have will be void!!

wantan Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 ^ Guess his average speed on this superduperbike wont be under 250kmh. So a 500km ride will need 2 hours. Add 5 minutes for photo posing at the vitorcenter in Khao Yai and 1 minute for stopping to buy the ticket, its exactly 2:06 hours. Thats fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
