    Top speed question

    I never said I got up to 180, I said 156. Getting back to my original point, what is it in the bike that regulates speed? It can't have anything to do with the speedometer because I've buried that plenty of times.

    Top speed question

    I'm going on a group ride tomorrow in southern Indiana and after the ride we all go out to a two mile airport. Well they let you go as fast as you want. I still have the speed restricter but my question is: I've buried my speedometer before (185) and it never shut down. My bike is geared -1 +2...

    In the Green

    Hey the busa with the big set hanging was at a car show in my hometown in southern indiana last saturday. I think it looks dumb.

    Is the Busa right for me?

    As someone stated above, I don't think you can go wrong with the busa. I'm 6'6" with a terrible left knee and a bad back but I can ride all day on my busa. The only thing that has ever bothered me was my knee on an all day ride but I just stretched it out a little while riding and it felt better...

    Anyone race an R1?

    Well unfortunately I don't have the resources to get my bike up to 350hp. I would guess I have around 175 to the wheel.

    Anyone race an R1?

    My thoughts exactly! I'm putting a 40 shot on my bike this summer which will require full leathers and boots. Where am I going to find leathers with a 36" inseam and size 15 boots?

    Anyone race an R1?

    Well I'll never be able to foot shift as fast as my air shifter with my size 15 feet...Also I am 6'6" 245 and he is 5'7" 200. Maybe that made a small difference.

    Anyone race an R1?

    I know how to count the teeth on a sprocket but when I say he just bought it I mean he bought it two days before we raced. We were just out messin around.

    Anyone race an R1?

    We have both been riding for three years. I've been drag racing longer than him but still not a lot, maybe a total of 60 to 70 passes. We are very similar in riding capabilities so I'm going to disagree with you on this one. His front sprocket is changed but we don't know to what (he just bought...

    Funny Squids

    Although EXTREMELY stupid, the first video of the dude riding wheelies naked made me lose it. Dumb but I thought it was funny as hell.

    Anyone race an R1?

    My cousin just got an '06 R1 Raven. Badass bike if I say so myself. Love the sleek look of it. But......We raced from a rolling 60 both of us in second. Went on my third honk and he slightly got the jump, maybe a half length ahead of me. I couldn't catch him for the life of me! We went to around...

    Riding Gear for Tall Guys?

    I'm 6'6" and I have an ICON leather jacket that fits me perfect. I went with the XXL because I have really long arms (I have a 7ft. wingspan). I went into a couple shops near me and tried on some jackets to see what fit then I ordered off of the internet to save some coin. Don't have any leather...
