im hoping that speedo is kph, not mph lol

Only think i know is that the 05 model was quicker off the line than my k3 ask quasi he was on the green thing

quasi is a slow old fart on a slower bike.. passed him heaps on sunday, the only one holding the group up!
but he's still on a kawa tho, so that's good.. if he hadn't someone on the back, then may be he'd be a little quicker

You don't need a GPS, get a bike computer that reads to 300 k's.

Yep I recently got a Cateye Velo 5, does up to 299kph (only cost $39), put it on my rs. Main reason was to keep track of km done but it has a max speed memory. At levels I managed 181.5 top speed. Was good to get an idea of how much difference a slow exit onto the straight changes the top speed, increased by 10kph from first session of the day.

I reckon that I could be almost talked into buying one of these

I'm slowly getting converted

And if you change the wheel setting you can crack 300 k's and have the evidence to prove it.

My 02 (admittedly completely friggin different to the 03+) cracks 260 in a controlled rush hour late for work environment. And I know the speedo is about 1k out at 100 (trust me) but as many pointed out the variance later on in the range might be significantly different. Certainly I'd be really surprised if it was 1% out at 260.

Seems 05s have a much better top end though than my 02, either that or they had some anorexic prick like WT riding it.

It's 'man-orexia'...

Gotta say, I rode one for a WHOLE LAP of Pukekohe on Friday, and they are by far the best value sportsbike on the market today.

That much bike for $15500 is just unbelievable.

Someone buy Feints for $14K with the cool bits, chuck some race tyres on and it'll be untouchable in the right hands.
Shame it aint a Gixxer.

you cheeky prick, the fact that I was two up with a new passenger on the back has something to do with it I would have thought.
Besides I dont ride fast on the road, I couldnt prove the true might of the 05 on the road, hang on I couldnt do that on the track either

Sorry about that Jimmy, I thought there was more than one lap to go, next time you can take it out for longer, promise.
