"do you think that planes need to chill out? let me know in the comments" funnily enough, the SR71's top speed was limited by heat buildup/tolerance/dissipation, not it's maximum engine output, the thing was designed to cheat physics a bit and use the sonic boom it was making to precompress the air for it's engines, this got so much energy back out of what went into pushing the plane that it needed less power to push up against it's maximum flight speed than it needed to stay in the air at it's _minimum_ flight speed. this also meant that both the sr71 and the somewhat faster and much less publicized plane it was based on could exceed their "max" speeds fairly easily, they'd just melt their nosecones if they kept it up for more than a few seconds and proceed to experience a critical structural failure and go from the tipping point of the metal in that spike and leading edge starting to denature to ripping themselves apart on their own shockwave and disintegrating so fast it might as well be an explosion.

That's not completely correct, some bikes are restricted to 300kmh what you sometimes see is the rev keep going because speedo wasn't correct. Also sometimes people just removed the limiter. Or the bike didn't come with restricted and ofc only shows 299kmh but it maybe only does 310kmh or so.

I graduated, got a job, moved out and bought a brand new 2000 Hayabusa at 19 years old. I'd never rode anything on 2 wheels with an engine. The salesman said I'd be lucky to live through the first ride. Long story short. I did and I've still got the bike.

That's true, but most people tend to learn more quickly on smaller, cheaper, less powerful bikes because they can focus on all the other aspects of riding and aren't distracted by trying to control the power all the time. Most modern 300-400cc bikes are capable of +/-5 second 0-60 times and are powerful enough to handle passing maneuvers on American highways. I always advise people go start off on something slower; anyone who doesn't and is still alive is simply lucky.

Were you going off the bike's speedometer? If so, you were going slower than that. Most bike speedometers are very optimistic and the faster you go, the more inaccurate they become. If the speedo says 189mph, you're most likely doing 168-170. If you truly hit 202 MPH, that bike was not stock.

In the early '90s there was a custom turbo-charged Ninja (ZX-11, I think) named "Mr. Turbo" that could hit well over 200. (220 if memory serves) The magazine article about it fueled my dreams for years and years. Who am I kidding? It still fuels my dreams.

[@01firstlast]

That article was in Sport Rider magazine, they had a competition for builders (UFO), that zx-11 made 459.8 horsepower at the rear wheel. With that much power, chain torque drove the wheel so hard in to the ground the bike would bunny hop of the line. And yes the top speed was impressive but abbreviated because again the force from the chain was bending the frame and making the bike pull to one side. Terry Kizer a great motorcycle tuner

That’s the responsible way to do things, although it makes peoples egos larger because they’ve waited to get a bike for so long, that’s why all the crazy road rage incidents are in Europe. I’m 17 and ride a 600cc super sport almost every day. I’m in high school and hit 155 mph on my way home from school. That being said I feel responsible enough to have that privilege, my friends who are also 17; one has a 500 hp cobra and a 200+ hp Ducati panigale 1199. The other friend has a 2016 yamaha R1s. I crashed a 500cc going 60 mph (100kph) that just taught me not to be stupid on the road. Now I can drag knee on backroads given good circumstances, it’s all about the rider. Ride safe everyone
