How fast have you been?

You sir are correct, I checked my facts and the '99s stock out @ 190mph - I dont know where I got 206 from though... The gagues went to 220 on that busa though, I laughed hard when I saw that.

The 206 is the theoretical max speed given rpm redline, stock gearing, tire size. It just doesn't have the power to make it happen.

CHEERS

did 185 pushed 190 on my 04 cbr 1000. guys a dealer told me it would do 200. i wanted to see. i backed off before that speed. scarey shit. have power commander 3 and custom dealer exhaust. thats it . i belaeve it would have gone 200 plus if i pushed it.

Not this again.

You are a fool if you think a 1000rr can hit 200.

Your bike is governed at 186. So not only can your bike not hit 200, but it cant hit 190 either.

The dealer sold you lies.

I've hit 180 twice. Once on my tweaked out CBR1000RR, and after I spent even more money on my 1098, hit it again. Both times, on Hwy 4, California. I rarely attempt those speeds anymore though, and head for the twisties instead.


tnrtinr, whattup!

Twisties are SOOO much more fun than straight line speed...

It takes skill to corner quickly, anyone can open a throttle.

like 115 95 mustang gt.
my boy had it up to 125 before he got pulled over and sold it to me LOL

Agreed. Straights on a sportbike are ok, but for any length of time, especially on my 1098, it's downright painful. Luckily, here in Cali, we've got some of the best twisties in the world. You should come out here, and I'll take you for a tour.

I have had the pleasure to drive in germany its basicly 2 hour drive for me and im there..

Done some top speeds with a bmw of like 320 km/h - Very nice to drive at high speeds...

Yea the "cafe" style bikes had just come out in the 80's bmw's, ninja's etc the guys on the bases were buying them not knowing how to ride them and then killing themselves on the autobahn, so they eventually banned US Military Members from even buying that style bike....but i miss it over there when i WAS there the exchange rate was 3.9 Mark to 1$ so a brand new BMW 318i was 9k out the door. German specs oh baby...lol

Nice !!!!!!!!! 9k for a 318i... I would buy that... idk. but since the 80's has money change allot.. wouldnt a car of that sort cost ya like 50 grand.. wich in no way is the amount the rate would be from 80's to now ?
