:twisted:What is the fastest speed you have reached on your VTR:twisted:

The top speed is listed as 155mph , but i have had mine past that, on the spedo, is that possible ? Ive had mine to 165mph

Do you mean you still had your eye open at that speed

Consider this......... at 150mph you travel the length of a football field in one second

Things get a bit vibrated at more than 135, can't see a friggin thing with the vibration in the helmet with the turbulence!

im gettn a friggn tank camera, I did it once with my camcorder, i duct taped the sucker on to the tank , so you could see the spedo , and i got it on camera at 140mph , and ive been well past that since , I wouldnt advise the duct taping method either , it took me an hour to get all the residue off and shine my tank back up, but i found some great little tank and helmet cams on line , im gonna have to get one and see whats up

when the 17 Ft sprocket, i reach 280 on the clock (280/1.7=165mph).
Now with the 15 ft sprocket i reach 280 on the clock with the tpm in the red line limite (9500rd/min). but with the 15 the clock is up sthan the standard clock from 6.25% it give 265km/h = 155mph.

I prefer my bike able to do 155mph and accelerating more and quickly to the read line in 6 than a bik eable to do 165...

But looking at these numbers, it seems that there are no many diffrences between superhawks and VTR1000 (in reply from an other subject...)

I had 177

out of a '

97 Blackbird with a passenger on the back and speed was verified by my friend the pink rabbit in his F40 alongside.

My storm is more fun as I can leave nearly everything at the lights up to 90ish - is it my imagination or does a storm accelerated quicker than a 'Bird?
