Top Speed?

[marty]

the rs is good for 215 in standard trim - as it is now. gets there reasonably quick, just runs out of breath. it pull s hard to 210, then just gasps. no rev limiter either. is a s solid as a rock though at that speed. i'd rather do 200 on the rs than on my mates 92 fzr1000 though - shit that takes some stoppin' that thing does..... with race pipes and re-jetting/airbox mods apparantly the rs will do 235/240. i reckon it's easier to buy a bigger bike. it's still friggin quick in the windies

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 ?

Sorry I should explain my figgers,
I've had 250 down the straight at Ruapuna theres not enough room left to get any more out of it. So I posted a thread on the UK VTR forum and asked what they get out of there bikes and the responce was up to 280kph and 2 replys were 270kph.
I though that it was a bit high for a twin but there you go.

I have also edited the speed (previous post) I got out of my CX turbo as I slightly over rated it.

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.

Yeh my VFR was the very last of the 750's (looked the same as Mervs) It had a dyno kit in it and a fancy pipe.
Often when a bike is doing full tit the speedo's arnt always that correct but I did see 270kph 1000 of the red line and another time 280 when I about touched it.
I never hit a rev limiter but then I never put the neadle into the red I think that the gearing was std and it was a level rd that was long enough out back of Brisbane (awesome rd's out that way)

Attached below is the VFR (Very Fast Roadbike)

Max speed for the VTR was about 270kph....did this out the back of Kaukap'.

Max indicated speed I had done on the R1 was 299 (speedo reads no higher). Had it sitting there for a while (both road and track)....no idea what speed it was doing....with the scenery rushing to meet me - the concept of continuing to look at my speedo and tacho somehow skipped my mind.

Fastest I have gone in a cage is 300kph+ in a Porsche on the Autobahn - wicked!

Fastest in NZ is 260 in a WRX on the motorway coming in to town.

So wkid_one ........ whats your new bike????? common we are dying to know, please tell us

[wkid_one]

What bike??????

[Two Smoker]

What bike??????

Im sure there was a rumor on here that you had a bike and was riding it around... but then you did leave it pretty broad with your quote "i finally have something in the garage...."

And if I did have one, I wouldn't be riding it on the road anyway....it would be for track use only

My bucket is good for 160K+ and I've been clocked at 312K by the Police at Pukekohe. My mate just did 6.8s at 202mph at Meremere(in a car). I was parked at the finish line when he went past - hoooooweeeee, what a blast.

Hi there!
I've done 180kph with the 4th gear (and I have a fifth that was easy to do and with a big backpack fixed on the motorcycle) but don't try that again -- don't want to be cought by a speedcop...
Looking forward to try that on a track.....
cya, Marcus

Are these speeds being quoted as seen on the speedo? If not, we must get the quick versions of all these bikes. 20 to 30 km/h faster than anywhere else.

All mine are speedo readings.....kinda funny tho Lou - whenever I am speeding the last thing I wanted was a cop with a laser to tell me EXACTLY what speed I was doing. I think I will stick with the speedo reading

Exactly.

I've seen 285 on the 600's speedo for christs sake! That was at a timed flying quater and actual speed was 261.82kph.

Still bloody fast for a 6 hundy though!

I've been 60 k's while skateboarding behind my 400 with a mate driving

From my gearing spreadsheet with current gearing @ 13000 rpm (yes, I've been there). Can't guarantee the accuracy of the Tacho, but its near enough! Speedo readings arent really worth a lot!

Sixth 1.190 254.51 Km/h 158.15 Mi/h Hmm - must go down a couple of teeth on the rear sprocket
