Haven't been able to get mine past 170km but it's got low compression on 3 & 4 aswell as numerous other faults

Don't know what the top speed of my bike is.
I havn't rung any bike right out for years,I do know that my XS is the slowest
bike Iv'e owned for about fifteen years but it's still lot's of fun.

I've seen 270kph on the gixx,The turbo's been off the end of it's 260k speedo and my old ZX12 saw 330+ on the road on a few occasions..(340kph on the rpm limiter doing a burnout at the coldkiwi last year.....)

Thats all that matters eh

On my old MV F4 I did 250 which was actually timed between lights and not the 285 the speedo said. That was top speed given the gearing I had at the time.

The Brutale is limited to 250kph which is stated in the MV material and we spotted it on a recent dyno run (ie, at 11,000rpm the power just leved right off rather than built to the 13,000rpm redline).

But those bikes arn't really about speed are they?

A bit hard to work out on the speedo on my bike as its a 180km/h speedo, but at 100kmh its doing 4250 rpm. I've seen 105000 in top gear, which is an indicated 247 km/h.

I'd say the speedo could be inaccurate up to 7% , which is indicating up to 17km/h too fast.

So probably around 230-235km/h I reckon, on a real good day, head behind the fairing.

The CBR250R I got was cut at 170kph.
The Blade got up to 275 on Puke backstraight before running out of room (bad Castrol exit, you see? I'm not a track dude). It can do well a bit more than that, though.
My Supra got a cutter at 190kph (sucks......)
I know GSXR and R1 can do about 300kph. My mate got his up to 295.

82 CX500turbo = 210kph (not bad for a 22yr old 500 twin aye)
97 VFR 750 = 280kph 'max'
97 MG 1100i sport = 240kph 'max' (but got there the fastest)
03 VTR 1000f3 = 250kph so far but should pull in 270-280kph

death inc: dosent the manafacture have a limit of 300kph and 318 being the max on a ZX12? the Bussa having less hp but more speed

Is the VTR standard ?

All the write ups i've read on SP-1's is 165mph top speed = 272kph

Ive seen 263kph on mine and it wasn't pulling much more so 272 is probably about right for the SP's, dunno about f3 ?

what sort of gsx400 red lines at 7000? even a harley revs higher than that.

try 7000 @ 110km/h, redline 14000 - mine would get about 12000 in 6th gear with enough room.

ask wkid - he'll know

I think its the parallel twin version.
