LOL This thread delivers !!! FWIW My S4RS ran an indicated 150 mph the last time I was whipping it good. There was some room on the tach still but I chickened out. With ear plugs in it is surreal how quiet it can be at that speed. I'm going to get a GPS unit soon so I can have the truest speed possible.

Dude,

I'm the last guy to be preachy about spirited riding (mea culpa), but I hope that you are doing that dime and a 1/2 at the track and not out in the world.

Just saying . . .

Just a heads-up: speedos are notoriously inaccurate on motorcycles.  (Except Harleys - they're usually dead-on accurate unless the bike's really modded) 

My speedo is about 5 mph under.

Well....maybe not at a track but a private area that's off the real worlds beaten path.

My 98 M900 did 200 Kph, and no not on a closed road circuit but on the open road, a bit slow I would say and damn uncomfortable [thumbsup]
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

I think 99% of the guys here are looking at us like  [roll]

They dont know about randall and the 620 capriex do they?


and rightly so - should have died w/ TOB.  Never understood why that was so viral anyway... maybe funny for like a week but now it's just annoying when a thread about top speed can't go more than a page without someone coming in and dropping it like a turd  [roll]

Anyone who cares about top speed should just go tape a gps to the tank and go find out.

what a piece a junk.

She'll make point five beyond the speed of light. She may not
look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've added some
special modifications myself.

After chaning my sprockets around, I think my M750 hits about 105 top.  Not sure though ~

On the open road, managed 175Km on the 620, bounced to 185Km on the s2r 800, these are the top speeds but about as fast as I'd ever want to touch on public roads and only for a brief .5km at a time.  On the same note as another rider I met once said ..... fast enough for me, and too fast for the popo!

Ducati ..... Ducati ..... Ducati ..... It just makes me smile!

Harley drivers in short/t-shirts/and salad bowls .... make me laugh.
