anybody good at maths and ratios?

engine speed 9750rpm,
Gear ratio (overall) (1) 12.08, (2) 8.78, (3) 6,94, (4) 5.58, (5) 4.77.
rear ratio 3.26:1
rear tyre size 4.50H17

Thats enough info for somebody to work out what the true speed was.

228km/h, am I right?

99.99Kmh.
I have listened to the ~~propaganda~~ educational messages that our beloved ~~fuhrer~~ leader has instructed the ~~tax collectors~~ police to tell us, and believe every word.

257 actual speed.

277 Indicated

'03 Yamaha R6

Here's the proof (something that seems to be lacking in this thread, talk is cheap)

I've done about 260k/hr (indicated) with a pillion on a Hayabusa.

On the track fastest I've managed is about 270 (indicated).

At the timed sprints, my highest recorded speed was 255kph on my old gixxer 750. But I had my K2 thou on/in the red line in top cog, so whatever they're meant to do I've done it.

220 in my cage on a hawk radar at the eastern end of Ohakea runway. Would have been quicker if the boost was normal.

Rev limiter on my f650. Who knows how fast that was because the speedo is a vagueliar.

150-160mphish on the zx-7r on a private road somewhere near the M11

**Usarka** · 3rd October 2008, 21:15

I was doing like 387 and the conditions like changed, so i like slowed down to 310.

**old git** · 3rd October 2008, 21:22
