20,000rpm, keep dreaming. MotoGp doesn't rev to that. Rev counters are up to 16,000rpm, but max power on the R6 is around 14,000rpm
And before you ask, i've been riding since i was 6, im now 27...........
So he's braking for ages, and its still at 16,000rpm..
Sound like a complete bell end to me. As for not braking for accidents, dude, seriously, are you writing this purley for cool points or do you use any common sense?????
Indicated 85mph in 1st gear then. Yes, I know, because I've ridden it regally. It bounces off the limiter in 1st doing 86mph to be exact. And by ages, I mean a couple of seconds... But from the impact he hit the car, it lodged the rev counter and it shows it's stuck on 16k RPM. Oh where did I mention max power? The carb'd R6's rev to 18k (indicated) and the new R6-R's rev higher. I presumed it's 20k but it may be 19k. Either way, it's really not worth an argument.
And regarding not braking... It works.
I managed to blag to my insurance company that I was doing 30mph in a 30mph zone and managed to get 50/50 out of the claim, even though I was doing 75mph. If I had locked up the wheels, it would have been obvious that I was speeding and I could say goodbye to my bike, my licence and my insurance. I know what I'd pick.
And when I say no braking, I worded it wrong -- I meant not locking up the wheels.

If some fanny on a bike hit me at 75 in a 30 i'd expect them to be paying for the damage tbh, not getting away with it because they valued an insurance settlement more than unbroken bones.

He is actually right if you know your going to hit it.
My dads into his bikes i just mentioned that to him and he said hes right,he said "Braking is the worst thing you can do if you value your licence".

I got £5k for it. My bike was only worth a grand.
Anyway, here's a video of the R6-R's clocks:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=9EwCSOq0W4Q
You can clearly see 20,000 RPM (indicated) on the clocks. And yes, it does rev to it.
I know it's only indicated, but I'm not writing (indicated) after every single figure I write.
So laugh all you want...

INDICATED...
Its morelike 70mph
And i'd love to see you watching the speedo as your bouncing off a 16000rpm limiter in first gear. Nice way to treat your friends bike. I would have treated my friends bikes with such dis-respect
18,000RPM INDICATED, as i've mentioned, most bikers are aware of the over rev readings on the R6.
Its a cracking little bike the R6, smooth, and 165+mph from a 600cc is awesome. But to me it sounds like you and your mates are as repsectful and skillfull as a 17 year old driving an Enzo........
If you locked the front wheel, 98% of the time you will go straight down. I know, from experience!!!!!
I live in Kent, please pop down the Oakdeane one wednesday evening so we can all pick your brains for how to ride like a plumb. My old man would have a field day

No it isn't at all You'd want to scrub off as much speed as possible.
ARRRGGHHH here comes that on-coming car, i'd best keep the throttle pinned so i hit him harder and risk turning my two broken legs into two snapped in half broken legs as they catch the handlebars as i go over them.
Braking is the worst thing you could do if you went past old bill going the other way while going well over the speed limit. Then you keep it pinned otherwise, you don't. Its not a FWD car........
WHAT brake you use though IS important (and how much you use it).

Well you're a complete cock then because I can lock my front wheel and keep it locked until I come to a stand still. I've locked my front wheel many times when doing stoppies. Graham88 took a picture of me stoppieing my VFR and the front wheel locked and you can clearly see the front wheel locked, with a massive skid mark.
And I've said indicated all along.

As I said, I worded it wrong. Most people would grab/stamp the brakes and cause a skid mark. I try to brake as much as possible without locking up, and let go at the last second -- this helped a lot as my left clip-on was absolutely mullered. My hand would have been torn off.
Tony did the same. Brake (without locking up), and let go at the last minute.
Look at the right clip-on. Fucked. That would have been his hand.

You can lock your front wheel and keep it locked till your at a standstill.
Why on earth are you not a professional rider with these skills then?
I know Graham.
And thats an R6, not a VFR, and no skid mark, and thats the road outside the new Eurostar terminal.
Locking the front wheel in short sharp bursts is possible. Locking it up to a standstill is practially impossible.
Now you don't seem such a plumb, your coming out with some decent comments, but look back at your comments and you will see why you've just looked like a "bikerboychav" with what you've put.
Keep it trackside up!

Basically as he said you brake so much as to not cause a skid then at the last minute leave go of the brakes.if you skid and lick the brakes and the police see that theyd ban you.
My fathers worst accident was into the back of a lorry which had just turned out of a sidestreet he ended up underneath it at 70mph+ braking but not locking it up and he didnt lose his licence,and now he cant even straighten his middle finger form the accident and his head hit the rear/diffaxle of the truck and he was fine

You're an absolute bell mate. I know several people who can lock their front wheel without coming off (if they're up right). If the bike goes down (which it has with me before), then you're sitting uneven. You learn from this.
I was talking about a different picture. I'll post it when I get home.
You just said if you lock the front wheel you're off... and now you're saying that it's possible for short bursts. Are you changing your words for when I post the picture to prove you wrong?

Short bursts - Possible.
You've said you've locked up to a standstill. I would like to see this!!!! Tyres are rounded, sitting even or not, it will come off this central pivot on the tyre to the side and the front end will go under (unless your THAT good that you can correct a front wheel slide, but if your THAT good, you should be racing).
Im not a bell, im a human. Bells are made of metal, im made of skin, flesh, fluids and organs.

Exactly. Your dad is bang on...
Oh and this is the result from locking the rear when you're not sitting evenly.
Lesson learnt. I'm very concious with my seating position now and I can (and have) lock the front wheel until a stand still. I used to attempt stoppies in damp conditions and it always used to lock. You get used to it.
I apologise for my attitude but when someone tries belittle you over the internet, it's a tad annoying. No hard feelings, eh?

Never wrecked a bike myself. Always scrubbed off adiquate speed.
Luke, that you, ragit luke? Its Daimo.
Mazdaspeed - ONLY a 600, that IS a normal sized bike!! Even SS600's are whey to fast for a 600 these days... Faster than older 750 Superbikes of the 90s!!!

so the police will see this and obviously you can't do 30mph at 16k rpm therefore he will get a ban.
unless he destroyed the evidence, which, judging by your ''i'll do whatever the fuck i like'' attitude, he probably did.

Of course we did. They're in his bedroom as a trophy.
