SK5 - Query re top speed and restriction

All these people who own private run ways....








.... You must have some $$$$

[Spikenipple]

I had 145mph on the clocks of my SV on my private replica of the M5 the other week. When my bike was restricted the quickest I went on it was about 95mph.

On the German Autobahn I had an indicated 133 out of my k5 so in real life that was probably about 125 it may have gone a bit faster bit that was fast enough for me.

Indicated 115 is perfectly possible from 33bhp

dealers, like they know anything

on my privat run way with the other ecu in i got a indicated 115mph but thats suposed to be the unrestricted one ? i am 17.5 stone with gear thogh

some one know where to get the 33bhp ecu part number ?

But I get to 60 on around 3 seconds when I wind it up....

I can drop down a gear on a motorway and leave others for dust etc

The bike is loud, proper burble, and with my exhaust it bangs and spits etc

33bhp? No way is my bike putting that out. From what I have done with it it just can't be, far far too quick.

So as I said, last gear at 7.5k revs what speed you at? 100 ish? I know I can do more than 110 but as I said, I choose not to twist anymore as I am still a fresh/new rider, the bike has it to give, I just choose not to ask it.

Sounds about right. My bike does the same speed at X revs when its both restricted or not, and its perfectly capable of indicating 115mph in 33bhp mode.

If your a new inexperienced rider anything will feel rediculously fast... Even if you have lots of experience in fast cars.

If stu has seen the bike/ecu and knows the factual difference in ecu's... And says yours is a restricted ecu... Then really it must be. Regardless of how fast yours feels.

From what I've heard and it's not from experience as I went straight to full power, a restricted Sv is pretty much as fast up to about 80 mph as a full power. But as G says even if you have driven some fairly tasty cars, it's a whole new feeling on a bike when you crank open the throttle
Anyway keep up the sensible top speed on the private runway and enjoy riding and the SV
