Top speed

[Ckennedy]

I have had mine read 145mphbut don't know how far out the speedo is. There was still a fair bit to go after that too but I ran out of tarmac I'll find out one day

Going to meet bazza etc on the Wales run hit indicated 160 had a bit left ,but fireblade and kwak 636 had backed off so worried why and shut it down,was running nodded airbox worked real well at high speed but crap under 100, that's what the holes in the front fairing do feeding the scooped cut away airbox lid and race k+n ,be great on a track ,crap on the road.

Does anyone actually know the real world top speed of our bikes ( on standard gearing obviously ). I know there are variables, namely the size of the rider, but I'm talking your average 13 stoner, on a standard or minor modified bike.

Not important, just wondered. I've never had the clock showing over 160mph on mine, which equates to, what, 145-150 real money ??

154.8 at bruntingthorpe track, i went with some "triumph" buffs, speedo was reading about 161pmh and that was when the bike was standard apart from the cans. I was tucked in though and wouldnt want to do that for too long. i did have by far the best sounding bike there though.

Aha, a genuine reading. Not bad for something that can be had for a grand. Lot of bang per buck !!!

I reached a scary 28.5mph while I was stuck behind Ali in Wales this year...




I have topped my bike out a couple of times but I certainly wasn't looking at my speedo!

More like 28 mpg !!

was running nodded airbox

It was OK then.

I would say the Storm does what honda say it will do reading from the speedo, but knock off the percentage for inaccuracies and that's what they really do.

What does honda say then ?

[VTRDark]

Good question, I don't know There's nothing in the workshop or owner manual or the press pack regarding top speed. So I guess all we have to go on is what the magazines say.

Average my ass! I am 15st and that's after losing 3st.
How many adults are actually 13st? I was 13st when I was 16.

I don't think I could actually ever get to 13st unless I was cut in half by a train or something.

As for top speed..never done more than 110, need my licence too much!

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

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

I've done an indicated 140mph (shhh) but I don't know how much my speedo is out as I haven't mounted my SatNav onto it yet. That will be a job for..


Next October

I reckon that matt paint slows it down a bit ymv

Don't let Matt sit on the back then.

[darkember]

I'm 11 stone & 5,7. Have never had the guts to go all out; by the time I've nailed 3 gear to the limiter I'm backing off, if caught your licence is already dead

BTW I am taller than Playerone
