I remember when Warren Willing was clocked at 299kph on a, I think, OW31, a version of a TZ750, in the rain, on Conrd Straight. And he later said that he was struggling to control the wheelspin. I think that was 1978.
I was there in the speed trap run by UNSWMCC. W.Willing and Hideo Takai had identical top speeds of 186 mph. Might have been 1977? Not sure about that.
Our equipment was pretty basic back then and the precision was not great. think there was several kph interval between possible readings.
Best speed on Conrod Stratight, Mount Panorama
