Michael Rutter On Board V4 Panni At Iom

A sense overload, just awesome

 

Mind bending stuff, I can’t even process what’s going on properly watching the video, can’t even imagine what it would be like on the bike

 

If you just look from the neck up he looks like he should be at the local bowling green, incredible man.

 

I think the sight of the dash in the video makes this something we can all relate to, a road bike been rode pretty well to the limit, something we can all buy but we certainly cannot ride it like that, I find this video incredible I can relate to it so much been there a zillion times looking at the speedo and revs thinking I’m doing ok, but the reality is just scratching the surface, this fella is riding the wheels off what is very high performance motorbike.....absolute respect.

 

Wow they have done well with the fuel economy! my 1199 only got 70 miles before the light came on

 

Why does the speedo go blank past 185?

 

was a gentlemen’s agreement a few years ago between manufacturers (thought it was japanese though) that bikes would not exceed 186 mph, they did that to prevent the powers that be putting a cap on it themselves, the hayabusa was touching 200mph ok 194 but it was getting daft, so they policed themselves before the handcuffing started, the 195 thing on Rutters dash is similar to the child sitting in the corner with eyes closed.

 

To put it simply, the speedo reads as high as 186 and that’s it, once this speed is exceeded it goes blank however the bike can and does still accelerate. With speedo error he probably is doing roughly 175-185 legit.

On the older GSXR’s they would have restrictions in 1st,2nd and 6th. The restriction in 6th was to actually stop the bike from exceeding the 186mph, but you could fit something like the atre which would remove the restrictions and the bike would keep on pulling in 6th, even though the speedo still stopped at 186.

 

Sorry 185 on rutters dash

 

185 mph with the sun in your eyes!

 

Just watched it again, remember when the horse ended up on the road and a rider went into it, you can just imagine what a horror it must be if something strolls across the road

 

Well I wasn’t far off then

 

Funny that is very similar to all test scores I achieved at school when I actually went.

 

Can’t actually comprehend how quickly he’s up to speed! ✊

 

speedo blanks at 182 ish but rev counter keeps climbing. Must be up near 200 mph ..

 

Bike is still pulling, it’s just the speedo doesn’t read any higher.
