my one wheel wheely record stands at just over 150mph on my gix. Standing up its about 140mph.

At those speeds the whole bike starts to act like a sail! you really can feel the wind
Don't go quite so fast on one wheel on the duke, to be honest i usually let it rev out in 3rd
sometimes get 4th.
You dont land it too hard at that speed everything happens a lot slower the faster you go! Get a nice puff of smoke! (known as a boeing! )

Seriously though,
good point Steve it could be the tyres been a little 'used'
Will find out at the weekend when i get these Racetec's on.
First time with these, heard good reports about them so looking forward to trying them.
i've gone for 190 instead of 180!
the wsbk boys are now using 200's regularly
