I know an R6 will do 140 in 3rd. Title: Re: The Cdn. Mounties get their man Post by: derby on June 25, 2012, 09:30:59 AM Stock? I've always wondered what an R1/GSX-r1000/CBR1000 would do out of the box. yup, stock... in 6th gear it'd pull slowly to 199mph-indicated*, bounced off the rev limiter, then drop down 3mph and start climbing again. *199mph - 10% = ~179mph Title: Re: The Cdn.

Thanks for answering a question I've had for a few years. |
