I Have A 660r. Today I Had It Up To 165 But Slowed Down As The Bike Started To Wobble Slightly. It Couled Go More As I Still Had Not Had It Fully Pinned. I Did Not Want To Be Scraped Off The Tarmac Today. Ill Give It Another Bash On A Less Windy Day.

hi guys,
a month ago with 1300 km on the clock, I managed 160 Km/h (100 mph). Last week with 2000 Km on the clock and quite loaded --back case, tank bag plus a bag on my back-- I was so happy seeing 176 Km/h (110 mph) when I ran out of road.I would definitely do 180 Km/h.. I could tell that my baby wanted more !!!:nod:

I notice most of you have been getting 110+ out of your bikes so thought i would give mine a blast and only managed to get 100mph out of mine last night.

bebbs where you doing the old crotch rocket position of arse up and face in the tank stuff. I have the XTR and at the moment have only been up to 90mph,its ok rock steady but am one of these people who is not worried about top speed its all about the cornering.:evil:

I hit on XTX 174kmh:smilies0346: on the motorway with the straight road and weak wind outside, XTX equipped with Leo Vince pipes only.

Cut down on the pies mate :p

No photoshop here.

luckily I can record my top speed with my Speedo healer & highest rev counter speed. This was last weekend with my mates. 15/47 sprockets, the bike had no more. With 15/45 sprocket I could see 175KMH, never seen more then that on my bike.

Kev, but you've got better acceleration with these sprockets, do'nt you?:dontknow:

My bike will lift the front wheel in second with no clutch, acceleration is much quicker, top end is only 8kph slower.

The only draw back with the 47 sprocket is high speed freeway cruising. There again in Oz the highest speed we can sit at is 70MPH, HA HA.

I tried the 14 tooth & found it made the bike rev to high for my liking & settled on the 47 rear sprocket. 1 tooth on the front is equal to 3 on the rear.

By going bigger on the rear sprocket there is more leverage to turn the wheel with less strain on the chain, the chain should last longer. That's my theory anyway.

Must admit 100mph is plenty fast enough and i don`t see me driving at those speeds anyway,was just curiouse as to how fast it would go.
And i was not crouching down on the bike just riding in normal upright position which was quite hard work to be honest.
