Top Speed?

[DEATH_INC.]

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

No,mine was a 2000 model-no restrictor
The fuggin scary thing is at 330(actually about 315 I believe) it was still accelerating
Let's not start the busa vs 12 thing,they were within a couple of mph of each other and the only time I ever raced one head to head was at the drags,though I did run more mph than he did......

151 indicated. Booooo-yah. I actually have difficulty getting into a crouch - my helmet chinbar bumps into the instrument panel on the FXR...

By the way, any of you guys ever want to log a bike run with GPS to prove your steed's cojones beyond a shadow of doubt, lemme know and I'll lend you what you need.

I think its the parallel twin version.

Or maybe the opposed twin version....

I've had my CBR up to 170 twice. Definately can go faster though, was only up to 15000rpm in top, and it redlines at 19000rpm. I think it has a 180kph limiter, but i reckon it would be able to do 200 at a stretch.

Ive had my RG150 at 185 on the speedo at 12500rpm in 6th gear (that's peak power), the actual speed was more around 178-180kmh but still... thats fucking good for a 150 hehehe, its seen 175 on the back and front straight of puke, once i get my exit a bit better from castrol i will see 180+

I couldn't care less how fast any of the bikes I've owned can go,even the ones that could go fast.The XLV750 is suposed to do 180 - had it up to 160 yesterday,but that's a rare thing.I've had the XS1 on the magic ton - you guys wanna know fast...try that !! Have no idea about the XT400 - 120 on a twisty gravel road is like 300kph on a race track.

[Indiana_Jones]

120 on a gravel twisty is good, but then again you can't compare a trails bike to a road one, it's like comparing a boat to a plane

Milky just wanted me to tell you guys his CB125T does 110kmh hehehe, 120kmh with a tail wind lol

But then there is me CT110......... 92kmh LOL and it takes me about 15 seconds to get to 60kmh LMAO ....... What a beast, if you want a scary ride, get on one of them in the wind at 80+kmh with 30kgs of mail .....

[Jackrat]

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

-Indy

Yeah your right there,But I think all bikes are about speed,just in different ways is all.It's a bit like what Motu says,Do 160km on an XS1 Yamaha and you know you were going fast,Yet the same thing on a new sports bike is nothing.It's all in the seat of ya' pants aye.I really wouldn't like to do 160 on my bike,the bike can do it but I don't want to be on it at the time.

Mine about 245 is what I have seen, and if you could redline it about 255 and if you could get to the rev limiter about 265. You need to alter a VFR to get 280 like Dangerous is talking or a very long straight down hill with taller gearing.

[georgedubyabush]

180 normally on the zxr250. 190 once slipstreaming a TLR.
100 on the XL185
The z650 is apparantly good for 180, but like jackrat, bugger that.

[DEATH_INC.]

120 on a twisty gravel road is like 300kph on a race track.

I've had over 200kph on the ZX12 on a gravel road,does that count ....wasn't very twisty though ....

[Posh Tourer :P]

Milky just wanted me to tell you guys his CB125T does 110kmh hehehe, 120kmh with a tail wind lol

Rubbish..... Ive had it to at least 125, prob 130 down wellesly st off-ramp....
...

I'd agree with Jackrat in the case of my bike though, who cares how fast my beemer can go, it wont like getting there.... It was complaining enough hitting 150 chasing a beemer cage back from Piha

Its all about horses for courses... the tourers/cruisers/dirtbikes arent made for speed, whereas sportbikes are.... measure them all by different rulers... The beemer can do here to wellington non-stop without too much fatigue, but not a lot of speed, a dirtbike will slide it round very fast on gravel but would be less comfy riding to wellington, etc etc

Hence I'm quite happy to explore the top speed of the CB125, but not the Beemer (not that the CB125 is a sportbike, but....)

[Motu]

Well,I'll say that dirt bikes are made for speed,just depends where your riding.
