there arent any roads around hear to do that somewhat "safely" like there was when i lived in vegas

 

with your gearing changed, have you calibrated your speedo?? (yellowbox, speedohealer, etc... ) I've had mine to 180 myself and if you do a search there is a whole thread on here about this. I guess the speedo only goes to 189, but stock is off 10-15% so it's still pulling. Stock i think the top true speed is around 185.

 

Good point...I bought the bike with it mapped and gearing changed... But its very possible that it could have been off. But it still is good for braggin rights though...

 

speed

i guess i top everyone 186mph...

 

when i had my 04, i managed to get out about 293km/h, but ran outta road...

pfffft...you should of just kept going Enduro style baby:lol

 

Held mine at 299 Km's for about 6 or 7 secs. , then I let off, ran out of straight road. Not sure how fast it was after the 299, but I still had a few revs left, and it climbed to 299 steadily without backing to 298,299,298 like some bikes do. My eyes felt like they were going to rip right out of the sockets, damn I need a new shield for my helmet !!!

I've had mine up to 295 (183mph or so) and I'm on a 2003. The 04's will hit 299km/h (186mph-189) on the speedo easily if you really hammer it just like r1 outcast posted.

 

saw an indicated 185mph yesterday, bike was still pulling but saw the tach near redline in 6th... i'm down 1 in the front, i'm guessing it was only like 160mph actual speed.

 

Ive hit 183 before, after that I just had to shut it down, front end was getting a little flighty

 

Stock i think the top true speed is around 185.

Actually it's about 178.

 

my bike is totally stock and i've had it up to 172mph some sick shit i tell you
ran out of road unfortunatelly

 

saw 170 on my 03 at about 10,000 with a slip on and a k&n but had to let out for a turn

 

On satuerday night I saw 189 mph and the tach was still climing. On the dyno at around 13,500 the bike showed 189 and the dyno was reading 186, off of the rev limiter at 14,500 and it was at 207 mph. I wish I had a scanner to post everything.

 

You guys are gonna say I'm blowing smoke but I saw 193 on my speedo yesterday. 177 in 5th. Slight down hill at the start before leveling off to a longass straight.

 

With GPS 04 R1's get 182 or so. 03 models usually in the 174 range with basic mods..

Without GPS the indicated numbers are useless - can be off by more than 15mph at those speeds...

You live in Florida, the interstates are staight for miles

 

my 02 hit 168 indicated with a slip on.

I was going to mention to post up GPS pics.

The indicated # is all BS, most guys won't look at their speedo / tach at high speeds + the 'fudge' factor.

 

does anyone in southern new york/western connecticut have access to a gps unit - I'll supply the beer for afterwards. Plus I've heard that the blue '04s are the fastest. :boobies

 

181 indicated with a tooth down in front would be a heck of a lot less than 181 mph. Mount a GPS unit and go make another run.

Shortly after getting mine, I pulled the trigger. The speedo stops reading at 189 mph indicated, but the bike continues to accelerate as evidenced by the tachometer continuing to slowly climb. They feel kind of anemic at that speed, nothing like the Hayabusa.

Yeah but at least you can turn an R1. :boobies
