Whats your Top end (so far) - Page 2 - SV650.org

130 when I had the bike only a couple of weeks (it was run in) but the petrol light started flashing and I had not seen it before (as I always filled up before going out on the bike, no matter what the mileage) anyway this light started flashing and I thought it was the crash and die light and slowed down, only once I slowed down and was able to have a good look that I realised what it was - doh

150mph on the back of my husband's blackbird on a motorway near Bristol.

Just over 130 indicated, it shakes abit at that speed.
This speed was of course obtained on a private road.

(No insects were harmed during the making of this speed test)

126 in my Punto HGT. ok, it's not a bike but................it's still kinda good and......................I'll get my coat.

An indicated 133 on my naked K2 - nose between the clocks, arms and legs wrapped around the bike. With a long enough road maybe another 2-3 mph.

Interestingly with the standard can I only got 126 but as soon as I had a Remus Granp Prix fitted the top end power definitely increased.

Having just been nicked at 97 and with an impending six points coming my way I've decided to keep to around 90 (only three points see?).

125mph - on the way to the Speed Workshop after I'd been caught on a Gatso 3 weeks earlier.
Thought I was going to be late you see... I was 20 minutes early

Irony in the air?

04-02-04, 10:22 AM

148mph indicated on a strip *cough A1 cough* without hitting the redline

probably could have sueezed another few mph, but it was getting scary. anyway, who puts a roundabout in the middle of a drag strip?!?!? i mean serioulsy now!

now, where's my daytona gone? i'll see what she'll do

lol
