Top speed

[Billy]

I have been trying to get the beemer flat out recently (on a private track of course ) and i was wondering what the top speed is limited too mine will do 190 before i start to bottle it ,(Depending how accuate the kraut speedo is) and its still acelerating ;D so has any one hit the big 200 yet 8) theres a top speed day this month at Elvington and i was fancying a trip down to see what the BM will do.

I belive official speed with stock gearing is 191mph, however the speedo will prob show that as higher as theyre more accurate up to 70

The last top speed figure I saw in a mag was 189mph and they said the speedo was the most accurate compared to the others bikes (Hayabusa etc) so I would say you are not far off top whack.

I've just got back from my euro tour & with full luggage got 189mph on the auto bahn

IIRC a magazine topped 200mph on a standard bike, apart from taping up the holes around the edge of the screen.

Who cares? Probably the most irrelevant stat on any bike designed for the road.

There's a load of YouTube vids of some NYC blokes racing & maxing the S1000RR at night. They seem to hover around 190-193mph. Looks awesome, but scary. If they hit a stone or a car decided to change lanes, they'd be doing a Superman all the way to Statue of Liberty.

Ok thanks for the replys : i know its not everyones cup of tea but its a genuine question and i would like to try and get it up to 200 on a airfield runway (just to shut a few old Hayabusa mates up) 8)

Oh Shit ! Sounds like a case of digging out the suit and plenty of humble pie. A mate of mine got done for a mere 80MPH and the Magistrate actualy said " Good God 80MPH how come you wern't blown of the back" What hope have we got?

 

[billybob]

going to try drag it out till the end of september then it doesn't matter too much for the bike only next year when my insurance renewal comes through !!!
