2nd gear on a storm......
Chap at work asked me what sort of speed the bike would do flat out in 2nd (ahh..the cruelty of it all) gear. Not sure, I struggle to see the speedo through tears of laughter every time I rip open the "48s" !!

I'm thinkin near 90mph. Cant quite convert that to Kph. 3+ large brews at the drinkin barn = low math skilz.
I try to yoink a few wheels at 70mph in 2nd...that's about 7.5-8k on the tach. So I'd go with about 85-90mph.
My brain pretty much just goes
when 2nd gear is pegged
And I'm goin "One wheel style" Schwing!

When your exhausts sound like this you don't tend to find out what speed it does in any gear past 4000 revs.....sounds boootiful....

Mine are actually G-Force racing cans but sound exactly the same.
If I were to try and find out what it did in second no way would I try it in a built up area...well not again anyway!!!!

Aargh! I've been looking for a site with recordings of different cans on a VTR (my ARTs are VERY loud and I feel a bit conspicuous with 9 points on my licence) but your link doesn't seem to work
Anyone know of such a site? By the way, I reckon it'll do about 95 (130ish kph) in 2nd

What's that? Loud? Sorry, I can't hear you!
