Top speed

[agentpineapple]

I'm 12 1/2 stone, after losing 4 1/2...I was a fat fcuker, not any more !![/quote]

No bullshit.

I am 19stone, and saw a definite 161 on the clocks. It was maxed out, I held it for a couple of miles.

Think 10% is about right from putting my gps on it, so somewhere between 145 and 150 is about right.

My bike is bog standard, and I think the extra rider weight makes it more stable as it could have sat there all day, rock solid. I was scared how easy it was.

Why? Because my mate with a blade 900 wanted to do top gear roll on comparison from 70, but the noob left it in 5th by mistake, so when I hit that (beat him to it btw) he knocked it up one and disappeared into the distance! A blade has quite a lot more top end than a storm!

Well I topped out at 22 stone about 2 1\2 years ago....... but am now back down to 16 stone though I am 6'3"
and I will say the bike is much happier.....

God, you're all so heavy! I'm only joking please don't sit on me

I'm less than 10 stone

[Jamoi]

please don't sit on me

I'm 6ft 2" used to be 13st but I've lost half a stone of muscle since giving up MX!

I might try and get down to 4 stone for some extra performance next summer!

Good luck keeping the front wheel down

Could you imagine how amazing the bike would perform if you weighed nothing!! Not sure how it would corner though??

I weigh nothing and I can confirm it corners fine. I just can't accelerate on it

[thumperslaw]

Sat nav was showing 155mph on the run way last year.
Am 12 stone rider.

If I was only wearing my boxxers then mybe 160mph at a push

[bigtwinthing]

Don't own a set of scales, never have, never will but i'm probably between 11-12 stone

what waist are you 26"?

No that's his hight :-)

[Z28DUNC]

160 on my clocks a few times, obviously on a runway

Had a mate following me on his TLR once and he said we where doing 165 on his clocks.

Probably 150 is the true speed.

Do you think that having a full fairing makes a difference?

[firestorm996]

Nudged an indicated 170 on dottinger hohe at nurburgring on my first storm, which had a 15t front, although I did then overshoot the pit entrance and cop a bollocking from the marshalls. This year in Germany me black storm was showing 150 with a top box and luggage, at which point the Tarmac changed and it went into a weave. The speedo error on the things is pretty severe, I'd be surprised if a storm hit much more than 150 on a good day, probably not even that much in fact.

[Serlant]

Stock speedo managed an indicated 160. The aftermarket kosos rx2 speedo for which I measured the front wheel and calibrated it registered a top speed of 147mph, that's with 6 magnets so I'd say it was pretty accurate.
