...Anyone else on 6 hundies been to puke? Whatcha seen at the kink (and don't say the rest of the track.. smart )? I know thous do 300+, I guess it comes to gearing for anything else. I'm talkin stock here...

I had a fair bit of experience at Puke last year going to 4 open days and the feedback I got was that stock 600's (CBRs, Gixxers, R6s, 636s) were averaging around the indicated 250-260kph mark tops - and the 1000cc bikes were passing them/us on the back straight as though we were standing still!!

And if you can trust wog speedos- 270+ round to the zero stop on a Daytona Guzzi with the stage 2 engine and exhaust kit.

sorry man, but are you sure?...... cos the Daytona RS (most powerfull Daytona) only pulls 240k.... well thats what it says on the blerb sheet I have, and on the other side is the 1100i Sport and it says 230k... which is what I got out of mine... on the dot at redline.

ps: 1100i sport 90hp
1000 Daytona RS 102hp

I wouldn't mind seeing about hiring an old runway for half a day, do speed runs down there..

Same here...... Wigram would be sweet

Have you had your speedo recalibrated lately?? Maybe you just got a faster one out of the batch huh!

[Krusti]

I see in Super Bike Mag the Honda Telefonica RS250RW tops out at 281 kph....107 bhp!

And the Repsol Honda RC211V AT 343 kph.....250+ bhp

I read a review of the '04 636, and they estimated 160mph ish. Plus, it's only just had it's first birthday, so nothing should be out (I hope..)
We'll see anyways...

160 mph = 257.49504 kmph.

Is yours the RR (race ready) model or just the R?

Yeah..... not bad, but I reckon it still needs a turbo on it tho

RR = 599cc
R = 636cc

Both bikes (I've been told) are identical save 2 things - 37cc and stickers.. Everything else is the same as they toodle down the production line..
The RRs have more Kawasaki race parts ready, such as cams, tunes pipes, crankshaft etc, don't think you can get those from Kawa for the 636 as it can't be raced in production.. or so I've been told..
I have seen 260+ on it, and have had another bike next to me (1000cc) doing the same speed and confirmed it when we pulled over gobsmacked..

I always thought bike speedos were inaccurate at best... but I'm happy to quote indicated figures. Perhaps in the interests of science we could line up the friendly highway patrol one day and see...

that's what I was thinking as part of hiring out a runway. Get a gun at the end and see what the speeds are..

[handy_dog]

I was only doing 100 Sir, Honest.....

but then it doesn't get published in Stuff!

Nah, seriously, I vote for Ohakea, it's closer to home and my cousin is one of the mechanics there (who lives in Feilding just down the road from Manfeild)... no, I'm not lazy - honest!

my speedo said 100k, orificer... oh, well, yes, the front wheel was in the air at the time which may have had an effect on my speedo... or does that only work on mountain bikes?

it's on a runway. private. no one cares. nothing would be breaking the law by going warp speed.. we get to keep our bikes, licence and bank accounts after
