should be good for 180-190 on the speedo.... 180 if it is still restricted....

I have only got up to about $1.80, at about 18,000rpm, in fith gear. And it still was accelerating slowly.
It was paying more attention to the road than my gauges thou.

yeah maybe you should check your bank balanace next time aye

The fastest i ever took mine was 160kph but i wasnt trying to go as fast as i could, it didnt take that long to get there either, so I'd reckon you could get 200+ if you are light, and on a long straight

Nah mate, youll be lucky getting 190kmh (indicated) and most likely 180kmh actual..... Especially considering that a ZXR400 only does around 230kmh..... (that includes an extra 20hp over the CBR)

Hahaha i got $1.93-$195 (off the clock) so yes it is possible but then again i don't weigh that much

Rumour has it that a ZXR250 dropped from a helicopter at a height of 2000 metres will achieve approximately 210 km/hr (60 metres/second), or terminal velocity, shortly before it reaches terminal impact.

Hey, its Friday... what else did you expect?

(Thank you Lagavulin 16 for that little bit of inspiration...)

Got up to $1.90 and it was still accelerating.

Speed limiter check = negative

Inspiration doesn't come much finer!

mine was bouncing off the rev limiter in 6th gear at Pukekohe on the back straight during most laps showing around 190 but as thats the end of the line for standard gearing and the speedo (which would be lying anyway) its probably all you'll get provided you're properly tucked away behind the screen.
I would think 190 actual speed is realistic given optomistic speedos and hitting the limiter (mmm 18000rpm!) if you added a tooth to the rear sprocket because it didn't have much more to give.

I also have got $1.90 from mine, was trying to keep up with a VTR1000, then had to brake.
On a totaly un related topic, northern motorway before Silverdale is quite long and straight.

I don't disagree with you about the speed but what do you mean "hitting the limiter (mmm 18000rpm!)" , you are talking about the rev limiter right? and isn't it it limited at 21000rpm. It does run out of guts after 18000 but it red lines at 19000, or did you just miss type?

(look at the wiring diagram a can't even find a rev limiter, I hope its not the vavles bouncing)

185 on the clock normally. Hit a definite speed limiter at 190 ish when slipstreaming another bike.

[カワサキキド]

I will have to conduct further testing

now that you mention it, I think it cuts out at 19000. I had enough room at Puke to get it bouncing off there twice (ie. hit limit, decell, accel, hit limit again) on a run so I guess there's enough left to really hit 190 with re-gearing
