indicated 300km/h on the street. Which is 186mph. Was doing less with speedo error, but couldnt give an exact, correct number.

I hit 135 actual on the VTX on the street once. All she had when I had the saddle bags and windshield on it. Haven't tried again without them, it MIGHT hit 140ish topped out though I changed the gearing in the hub not sure what effect it has on top.

Mr Lefty · 06-17-2009, 08:50 PM

165 indicated on my ZZR (prior to gearing) probably closer to 150ish...

130ish indicated on the RR...

GPS indicated 210 in a 01 twin turbo Porche 911.

162 on the street (RF900) and mathematically, a buck fiddy five on track via RPM/Gear/tire dia.. no speed-O-meter and no time to look if it did.

G-Rex · 06-17-2009, 09:09 PM

Probably 130ish at the track.

GPS verified 170 on a public road...in the middle of nowhere...high desert facility...you call it...Montana

I told my husband that I have never been impressed with guys that have any kind of ego, but I would seriously considering sleeping with one of those guys just because....damn.

My husband replies, that would be really nice of you considering they are all old enough to be your dad.

It's a good thing Tracy's best friend doesn't read this forum.. he may not be a pilot, but he's still AF, and has an ego to rival some of the worst pilots.

Not saying all AF are like this.. but that one.. that one's special.
