I got to see what a standard FXR150 could do in a sraight line yesterday ad thought I would bung it in here for future reference.
Not sure what his gearing was but it was a roadlegal one at the carterton sprints.
FLying Quarter:
137 KPH
If anyone has any more measured times or dyno results or whatever please chuck 'em in here coz it is all good info to have.

where opinion holds more weight than fact.
It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

Eyes that shine burning red
I saw 152 on my FXR on the back straight at Manfeild.
The real world speed is probably more like the 137 Koba quoted.

Did they do any standing quarters?
needs to work harder
Nearly 140 from a single cylinder 150. Seems pretty good to me.

MotoFXR's will rule the world!
MotoFXR speedos are miles out......I dont know how accurate they are but I got a calibrated MTB speedo which you enter the circumfrence of the tyre and 135 is the max I've seen on the main straight at Ruapuna, slightly more when slipstreaming.
Its harder to lose weight than gain horsepower.
Forum whore
on a MTB spedo I have seen 158k/h at puke and 127 at Taupo and 119 at Taupo and we get to around 97k/h at Mt Wellington with a fast rider
and thats on a gp125

Anyone can go fast in a straight line, it's the corners that sort the men from the boys.
Registered User
Yes, but when do you ever get to just go as fast as possible in a straight line for that long on a bucket?

You've never raced at Ruapuna then... Fastest bike wins as long as you're OK at corners
