Topic: Top speed??  (Read 20296 times)

0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.

I did a top speed run today [closed road]& the bike was still pulling hard at 260KPH,[I had to shut down I was running out of road & balls] Im sure it had another 10 to 15 Ks left, I have a set of slip on canns K&N filter & a juice box which has bumped up the power by about 15HP. So do these have a speed limiter?? This is an Australian model & im thinking it might be different to the US Jap & Euro models??
Any thoughts?

I don't think they have a speedlimiter (hope not...).
Do you have another front sprocket? Because mine runs in red way before 260kmh...

You'll notice soon enough when you hit the rev limiter

Question wasn't the rev limiter (every bike has one) but a speedlimiter. I think only bikes that are able to go faster than 300kmh have a speedlimiter. Except the Italian ones because they don't give a sh*t about gentlemen agreements

Now that makes sence. I think 270 would be easy done on my bike, as it was still pulling hard. Either way its bloody fast!!

256 km/hour on the GPS, 39T rear sprocket, 55 rear tire (PR3), Metzler Z8 front tire.

On the German Autobahn (legal), on a long hill down in the Eifel.
I actually always avoid the Autobahn, but it was getting dark & the planned twistie road was closed due to works, the "Umleitung" was on the autobahn.

tbh, above 200 I never watch my dashboard, too busy with the road & limited point of view at higher speeds.
I was surprised with that topspeed on the GPS.

I'd never try it with a PR3 on the front ... that tire scares me above 160  (wobble).
