Top Speed

Have any of you been above 107mph or am I correct in thinking it’s limited there electronically?

119 mph indicated  seems to be top with a smaller sprocket on front minus 10% approx 109 .

I like the low speed tractor gearing so I’m sure I’ll leave the sprockets alone. Maybe full exhaust in while…

I've had it up just over 100, briefly.  Really no need for it though. 75+ on the hwy comfortably is plenty.

120MPH on stock gearing and open exhaust, but it took her a bit to get there 🙂   I would say it get quick to around 115, then you can squeeze another 5 if you hide behind the ferring and are patient enough 😄

Brought it to 195kph on the speedo yesterday and it was still climbing slowly, so 200kph+ looks possible for sure. That was on a mild incline while in full tuck.

 

And no, I didn't buy a T7 looking to go that fast on anywhere near a regular basis. It was just a straight stretch of road with good visibility and I was curious.

Heard/Tell that the speedo's are as much as 10% off.

Yup, seems to be the consensus, which is why I noted that was the speedo reading. So it was probably more like 180kph or so. If I didn’t let off the throttle I’m guessing it had at least another 5-10kph in it with my fat ass on it.

My point exactly. Curiosity. Many things I must know just to know.

209km/h (129mph) on dash on the Autobahn = 197km/h (113mph) gps Speed.

with 16 sprocket in the Front, but behind a Buddy with his GS1250 Adv.

 

stable at that speed, but not  the bike for High speeding.

Truth. I like the speed but that’s not what I bought it for. Did you tell your buddy thanks for the draft?? 👍🏼
