How fast was i actually going?

[xchief1320]

08 busa with a 17 front sprocket,Stock rear stock tires and was turning 11,200 rpm in 6th gear.
My GPS died during the run so i'm curious how fast it was going.

Any good online calculators for bikes?

Thanks

Theoretically you could have been going 193.63 based on my gearing calc.

assuming 0 tire slip.... every time I have tried this stunt, it uses up a lot of tire.. gotta be slipping some..

Gearing Commander: Motorcycle Gearing Ratio Sprocket RPM Speed Chain Calculator

accordingto them about 193.6

speak of the devil... seems I left the better part of a Corsa3 with your silly road that day...

Try this one. It's an xls that I put together with some help of other members.

Calculators also do not factor in;

Ambient temperature, elevation, humidity, resistance, wind, riders weight, tyre slippage (as said), proper or improper inflation, rider's skills or lack thereof. Etc., etc.

That's why I stated "Theoretically".

Right. So 193.xxx mph is more that likely not obtainable unless a perfect world scenario was presented.

This is actually like racing on those portable drag racing things they bring to bike events.

If you want to pick it apart just for the sake of arguing or being right, go ahead. The OP asked a theoretical question and he got an appropriate answer.

Personally I couldn't give a **** less right now.

You're right and I'm wrong. Happy?

Settle down, Doug,, this wasn't supposed to be a get mad and throw meaningless adjectives at each other thread.

I just typed out obvious sh!t,, so did you. Let it go, brother. No need to get wound up here. We are both right.

Don't hit me, man,, I am just trying to make it to Monday unscathed!

BTW,,, I am mostly always happy,,,

Do I have to come over there and give you a nuggy!?

 

[xchief1320]

Thanks guys for the info. I'll have to try it again some day with the GPS just to see..

Pointing straight down.
I haven't corrected the speedo since the -1 front. But it's off 5 mph at 65 and at 100 it's off 13 then at 150 it's off 20. That's as far as i checked it.

So that means you were going to hell!

I think he had a good tail wind and was probably running 200
