How long does it take you to get your speed up

[MET]

Ok for you top end guys. What type of distance are you setting for yourself?

9/10's?
1 mile?
2 mile?
Or?

I do the 9/10's run 203mph on the GPS with in the distance. I think i may start looking at 8/10's or 7/10's just for the fun of it.

phhht I hit the speed restriction at in about 1.5 miles I think

atleast it seemed to take forever. I don't think it breathes very well at my altitude +5000'
nice run for you tho, wow.

my top speed before this crappy ass winter weather:

170mph indicated. approx 156mph actual factoring suzuki error.

Lowered frt sprocket 1 tooth now, what will that bring me down to??

 

[MET]

You mean you added to the front? Top end would be 18/42 18/41 18/40 19/41 18 30 etc.

19/41 would be about 226mph with the right HP in about 9/10's of a mile

As much road as I can find!!!
I'm more interested in having plenty of room to run than how fast I can get up to speed.

To go from 100-195 takes 1-1.5 miles, I think.

I don't like to have to slow down too fast either...you ever hit the brakes at over 180?? It about throws you over the handlebars and raises you out of your tuck...something I don't like, as getting out of the tuck at over 170, it gets very hard to hang onto the thing!

WOW N.E...0 to 203 to 0 within 9/10ths of a mile....
I have a place where i can go fast...maybe 5 miles straight.
I have done some runs... I know the tach is off..BUT it did say 11,200 in fith gear...stock gearing..didn't hold it there long enough for the gps to catch up..with the mighty busa.
Question.how fast did i go..gear and tire charts say 184...

 

[MET]

Good point. I like to leave 2 x's the distance for stopping also.

I don't have the nads to go top-end yet. Maybe this summer.

Just remember there is nothing wrong with not going top end. You have to be a little crazy to go over 200 mph.

heh, ran against a Saleen Mustang yesterday, the fool, he should have known that he wasn't worthy, but he wouldn't leave me alone untill I tought him a lesson.

cant give you a distance but I was reading a indacated Hair above 185. Let off just because I hit a bump and felt both wheels leave the ground, kinda spooky if you ask me.

I had a guy in a Ford Escort (he he) want to run me yesterday. He had a pro-stock tach on the dash and a super fart sound muffler, so I get he thought he was "fast and furious." I just shook my head no and let him go.

Didn't begin to even enter my mind as a race that might be interesting. A Viper might be worth while.

 

[Zorander]

I tried that in the beginning but dude was just following me around with his brights on no less

bound and determined to be em bare ass ed i guess. Sorry to bastardise yer thread NE

 

[MET]

No problem, I had a Ford focus that wanted to take me on. I just go pissy and came off the throttle about 5 miles ahead.

Now back to the question at hand

 

[Shmoo]

Hey,
I lowered 1 tooth in the front sprocket. Now down to a 16. So...what does that do to my top end? If it was "possible" to do about 200 before (2002 w/ TRE installed), what is it about now?
I ran against a ZX-12 the other day, and beat him. Not by a whole lot though. Am I setting myself up for embarrasement with a 16 tooth?

 

[busabullet]

I had the speedo read 196 mph, don't really know how far off it is a that speed. I kept it there for about a minute before I had to shut it down. All I know is WHAT A RUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been over 180 Mph probably about a 15 times, kind of scary because the bike does not even seem to be breathing hard. Too Cool.

Good run 196 is about 181mph actual, still plenty fast. Most likely if you had it pegged for a minute or more at tha speed you were travling 184mph. If you have a TRE on the bike for a minute travling you could have been at about 190mph.
