On an 8l naked bike. :D

I've never seen those numbers on a naked bike,mine wouldn't do 180 anyway,but a sportsbike makes it ridiculously easy.

On that thing the drag must have been horrendous and no I wouldn't have enjoyed the pillion role either.

I saw a comment on it on FB that made me smile "You'd think with all the money Cole has he'd be able to buy some teeth that fit his head".

It's the centre stand that makes me smile. Can you imagine getting that up onto it, given the weight and how far off centre it is? The man's a marvel. Totally bonkers, but a marvel. :D

It’s a man’s bike. You really shouldn’t worry about such things.

I've had my speedo showing 180 with our lass on the back 2 or 3 times.
It wasn't the speed she liked.
It was the mental acceleration with wheel lifting until I put it in 5th :D
