All good. So tempted by the RVF!:-P on the bright side, my VFR seems sorted now! I just loved the clutch and look of racefactory's RVF!:-P

Haha, I sent them an email a while ago and they still haven't replied, I might look at getting some fibre glass ones from Just fairings and getting a fibre glass tail off Tyga or something, I was just looking at a cheaper painted alternative then looking at getting the tyga tail after and just getting it painted to match, so im just waiting to see how you get on haha

I said in my email to them that I had someone waiting to see how my fairings got on before deciding to buy them..hopefully it will motivate them to pay up or sort them out quickly! Yeah the tyga rear (two seat) looks real good. 600$USD though is quite a bit!!

http://tyga-performance.com/site/pro...oducts_id=1829 is the one I want and the seat cowl for it, and yah its a little pricey but im not to concerned on sinking money into it, its essential my bike is at least a 5 year bike as I need to clear my loan before I can even look at another bike haha, Im also going to invest in a full race exhaust system minus the silencer as I can get one made up here as a cash job cheaper and look just as good and maybe a Igitech Programmable CDI, came highly recommended off the 400greyimport forum, that along with a new chain and a sprocket change (I want more acceleration than top speed) it should be a nice wee weapon to ride haha

I get around 18 km/L on the RVF, but used to get 20k/L on my VFR (both communting and on open road)

the VFR also got about 10-20% better mileage out of BP98 than any other fuel, while the RVF doesn't seem to care

There it is there.

wtf? Why is that power against wheel speed?

Shouldn't there be a torque curve and engine RPM?

If it was topping out why not just dyno it in first or third gear?

the vfr has an easily defeatable 180kph speedlimiter that rather violently cuts ignition to the rear cylinders. The RVF is much more gentle/smarter and just ceases to accelerate. They both do about 220-230 stock without limiter

Got it all sorted out now,

and it was a Dyno shoot out so it was hp vs wheel speed.,

Really?

I would have said they probably top out around 210 if your using stock gearing etc.

the needle stops at 3o'clock but the revs will keep climbing

I am willing to bet that a stock standard VFR/RVF will not reach 230kph.

According to gearing commander 208 is the top on stock set up.
If I remember right.

Unless you hit a downhill slope at 200..

Well it isn't going to be hard to find out.... I'd be keen to go to a trackday and get someone with a working speedometer to follow down a straight - my NC35 is stock standard, except for the fibreglass fairing I use for the track and the 51,000Km on the clock....

edit: I reckon 220 isn't out of the question
