How fast has everyone had their bike up to? I hit 151 on an empty highway today and it was WILD. Just curious...I don't need the flames blow my way, I made a calculated decision (risk).

Was that 151 indicated or 151 gps actual? I've seen 150, but my speedo is 8% fast. 138.

Let's not be tellin' lies, folks.

on my bike, i hit 40 going down hill, i had those things you stick on your handlebar and put a magnet on your wheel and it measures that.

an INDICATED 165 with stock tire sizes. Speedo error? I dunno how much, but either way it was still too fast. I thought I was gonna get lifted off the bike by my helmet. FWIW, bike was at "indicated" 165 when I passed the videocamera and was still accelerating, but I let off...gently. It was screaming barely above redline, I assume the p.o. removed it? It's a somewhat modified 95 Kat 750.

About 115 mph with my 04 GSXR 600. I wanna go faster, but am not ready and really.......the only place to do it is on the highway. I haven't had the pleasure of an empty one

 

[Clint]

The limiter isn't usually right at redline.

I've seen an indicated 135 on the '02 Gixxer 600 I had. I haven't gotten my '04 600 past 80 yet since I haven't had the first service done.

 

[DaMaNP750]

it indicated 151 and I had a lot left on that tach. I think I was around 10K in 6th. The only reason I stopped was due to the crappy concrete was coming up. It was a newer stretch of concrete that I hit it on. It says that 178 is top speed on this, but I wonder what it really is.

02 Gsx-r 600 167mph on the HOV lane. and why does everyone bring up the mph error with speedometers. Everyone one had and error so why not leave it @ that. Big deal since everyone is equally off by 8% why do people maticulasly(sp?) correct people when they post their speed, is it a knownledge high of being able to use a caculator with this knownledge? just curious?

 

[Dave2122]

162 MPH on a 2000 GSXR 750 Supersport on the front straight at Summit Point Raceway. Summit Point is also know as "Slippery Point Raceway"
Ask anyone who ever raced there why :lol: :lol: :lol:

tire size, sproket set up, and some other things may affect how much you are off. Some people actually believe that thier speedo's are completely 100% dead on. You want actual speed get a gps system.

Around 95 mph (155 kmh) - totally legal - on the German Autobahn 8)

 

[Gixxerman]

255km/t (158,48mph)... This was on the speedo so it isn't true speed. 230km/t is more likely real speed I guess. It's fun, but it's not the speed it self that drives my mind to doing that. The acceleration is what I like. Can't ride around in 255 for a long time on the roads in Norway anyhow. Too dangerous :?

You'd run out of country real quick ! LOL

 

[inspiron]

Norway? Naw, you could ride for about 10 hours at that speed before you ran out of country ...

[themeatmanlandry]

125 mph (actual . . . 140 indicated). I-55 North into Memphis from Mississippi.

Still had a little tach left. Machine will do maybe 135?

2002 Bandit 600S

 

[Crazy1ear]

Indicated 230 km/h on 02 750 Kat... about as fast as it will go. Rev limiter on my bike cuts in at 11,500 - a full one-thousand rpms below red line!!

 

[Bluejeans]

Ha ha...65 indicated...only seconds before running out of gas for the first time. Got a real good coast, though!
