    Gixxers gonna gixx. What an idiot though. It sucks that a good bike like a GSXR gets a bad name because of idiots and squids like this riding them. In fact it just makes the sportbike community in general look bad. You just can't fix stupid I guess.

    At a sustained 100-180mph? I'm surprised he made it THAT far.

    My Texan is a little rusty. How fast did he say he was going when the deputy was keeping up with him?

    “On-hundred-eighty-nine when we were in the straights,” Pfohl said smugly about his speed while KXAS-TV cameras were rolling. “This dude [motions toward a state trooper] was keeping up with me, like, on the toll road, [Interstate] 635, like 160, 70. You kept up with me easily, 160, 70.”

    Re: of course it's a gixxah

    160-170 indicated, so that's about 140-150 real ground speed. Pretty impressive for a cruiser.

    Re: of course it's a gixxah

    Pursuing at those speeds for a simple speeding charge? Sounds really stupid. What kind of patrol car was it, a Charger? Not sure I'd be comfortable in a Charger at those speeds, or any standard issue cop car for that matter. Even if it has cop tires, cop suspension, cop brakes, cop motor.....

    I don't condone high speed chases, just due to the danger that the general public gets placed in during them, but I think you may be surprised at the capability of the police package vehicles at higher speeds. They do some things to them suspension, braking and power wise that they don't really publish that make them fairly capable at speed.

    I hope you're right, but it would take a lot to make a $20k sedan 150mph safe.

    Top speed of V8 Charger is 154mph in some tests, Impala 152. Crown Vic 129mph.

    If you actually believe that a MA State Trooper Crown Vic tops out at 129mph than I might just have to make an Internet post that claims I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale and see if you try to buy it.
