Top speed of these things?

[ARH]

Jeez... some of you guys must have bigger balls than me     I get to 175kph and think 'that's enough'.... sssh don't tell the wife!

[saggy0000]

THE BIKE WAS SAFE AT THAT SPEED, I DIDNT FEEL SAFE WITH ALL THEM SCOUCERS,HANGING ABOUT WAITING TO ROB ANYTHING

I have had mine at 237Kph clocked by my GPS, but have 17/35T rear sprocked, engine goes to 5600RPM & won't pull past that.

Maybe faster if you left it in 5th Derek.

Tried that Pete, just wouldn't go past 6800rpm in 5th.

My 2007 Black beauty went like a fart in a fan factory. Long straight, slight tail wind, tight leathers and tucked in like a tick on an old stag, I had the 1400 well off the clock past the 260kmh mark. It was like riding into a hurricane and my neck now looks like Arnold Swarzaneggers. True story, I'm 75 kilos and love going fast.

The factor limiting speed in practice is the aerodynamics - naked bike and sit up riding position it will never be nice at really high speeds, but that's not the point of muscle bikes anyway.

Speedwise I haven't tapped it our solo but can vouch that it'll happily do 200kph two-up with luggage.

Allegedly

Wow, over 6 yrs from my post.Never tried again. Hard work on 14 at warp speed, Rocket 3 much harder, 220 and hard to keep grip on bars.Diavel way different, wind it up and just easy, 260 feels like 120, guess its little screen was wind tunnel tested. 

[GSXKING]

When I was younger and stupider I wound the GSX to Maximum Warp Speed on the clock I couldn't see anything in focus and took almost as long to pull up as it did to get there. White posts on the side of the road were like a white picket fence 😳
Aprilia Mille saw 285kmh on dash board recording which was quickly reset incase Plod turned up.
Aaahhhh those were the days 😈😈🤡🤡☠️☠️

I don't even try these days,I bought the 1400 for the torque and roll on,which it is very good at !  160kph is about it for me !  
My gsxr1000 k6 was limited to 299 .That thing was made for speed, but I got too old to ride bent over (now 74 !).     

[KiwiCol]

I'm about the same Roo, 160 - 180 is plenty for me these days.
