That is crazy fast
The front straight at Loudon comes waay to quick to me to blitz down it lol

You need to go to Road America!
Or Daytona, except there it's weird because of the banking you are looking almost straight up while trying to stay tucked at top speeds.

I was joking guys, I have never done 160mph. I probably should have said, "if you can get it up to 160 then maybe the wind will disappear, like an out of balance wheel that shakes at 60 mph and then stops shaking at 80 mph"
I think I am making it worse.
Anyway would this bike even do 160mph? That's like 260kph over here, I have seen you tube vids of it going around 250 I think, with rev limiter/speed limiter disabled.

I'm guessing around 145-150mph stock and 160-165 with basic Superstock bolt-on mods. Thats based on top speeds of 600cc race bikes with 110-145 rwhp depending on mods. Aerodynamics play such a key role at those speeds.

We will know for sure soon!

Gear Ratio / Tire Size / 11k RPM Rev limiter will limit the bike to 164.4 MPH in its stock configuration. No clue if the stock engine can bring the bike up to that limit though.

I have gotten the bike to 143 MPH and it was still accelerating well, had a turn coming up so I had to back off.

GPS or Speedo?

Speedo - I know folks have reported it being off by 4-5 MPH but I was not doing it for the measurements :008:

OK I did a second high speed run. It was bothering me that ZCUP guys obviously run high speed just fine.

Turns out the severe buffering I encountered last time was due to the tank bag. In full tuck over the tank I'm still ordering the double bubble screen but it's tolerable.

And stock mirrors were fine!

Last Wednesday, my Samsung Note 8 flew out of my RAM mount... I watched it bounce across the freeway.

My Sena was still playing music until I got further away. I tried to turn around and find it, but no luck. :(

That�s why i have a DIY mini windshield just to cover the direct wind pressure againts the back of my phone. No need for any rubber straps

Good one. What are these double bubble screen things sdiver68? That bike of yours must be a beast with all that work you have done to it, I always look forward to your next mod.
