Above 184mph, does the speedo cut out?
Not easy to ride, into a setting sun at those speeds

Of course, if it wasn't for the sun.......piece of piss, a well riden GS.............

That low evening sun was a bit of an embuggeration.
Presumably the speedo goes blank when the 300kph/186mph limit is reached.
What surprised me is how few times Rutter changed gear on such a long lap. I'd never really thought about it before, but he holds on to gears for a long time. Not just top, but 4th and 5th particularly.

It does, and looking at the rev counter, he's probably hitting 200mph at times. :cool
Does your Ducati go that fast too??
This is a guess but i reckon the 1260 multi is good for 160+ so sadly not 200 but i also reckon that despite blacking out the speedo at 185 the V4S is good for 200
We cannot have an IoM onboard thread without digging out of the cupboard the 'Paul on his 1150' video - Will someone post it up please, I think it’s archived under:
When a GS was a proper GS
When UKGSer just did more than just post
...and of course Go Do One

I never tire of watching Paul's absolute skill on that bike and amongst all those riders I know I can't think of anybody (with one notable exception) who could ride those roads quicker.............on any bike
Andres
Edit: Obvs Stick could, that goes without saying.........
Tell me he's not on TKC 80's too
Probably, and left at 22psi because that off road pressure was surprisingly grippy on the road
I wonder how many racing miles that lads done in his life?
Never mind the circuit, I was mesmerised by that dash! 120 on the short straight after Ramsey hairpin. Over 180 on the mountain mile. Mind you, only 40 odd at the Gooseneck! Pshah!
Bloody hell, I couldn't stop watching that.
So that's what you can do with about 85bhp and 230kg ...... makes some of the recent discussions on here look a bit daft, doesn't it??
Fucking hell, that was awesome.
Did anyone else notice Stick overtaking him down one of the straights, on his GS?
I mentioned to him about you over a pint at the local Bathams , hes a nice bloke you know , down to earth and a great rider . thinks your a bit of dick mind . He did ask me if you have ever kept a bike longer than a rope on a scabby bonk hoss.
