OMFG
gearing commander is NOT PHYSICS. does the website take into account drag made by different riding positions? sizes? wind speed and direction? weight and tires? tire pressure (rolling res)? air pressure through elevation and humidity? there are a million different factors to be taken into account IN ADDITION to gearing. any "calculation" aka guess made at top speed found by taking a known speed and gearing and then taking an unknown top speed and known gearing is called a theoretical top speed, most realist (aka normal people) would call it a "guess". NOT PHYSICS. not be an ahole but really, wtf? COMPLETELY untrue statement.

many reputable mag's have tested to 07+600rr's to be capable of a little under 165mph stock. gearing limited btw

 

well i guess you told me...

 

don't post false information and say it's fact. i'll hook up a gps to my bike and post pics, doesn't make it unargueable fact, just a fact the my specific bike can do that. btw the redline of the new 600rr's is 15000 from the factory, not 13200

 

The gearcommander to me is full of information of all the gear ratios on different motorcycles made. Science has always used formulas to figure the physics of how thing operate. Although they don't take into account clutch slipage or tire height it is the closes thing to accuracy that the regular john can use to figure speed. I agree with the gps, I used one the other day and they amaze me. Science has come a long way. Johnny

 

It is fact (not physics, but math) - with known stock gearing ratios, and the known maximum RPM, known wheel/tire diameter, the wheel will turn at a specific rate - i.e., it will give you the theoretical top speed (which is 165 for the 07 600RR). It is not a "guess" when you use math to calculate fow fast an engine with known RPM and known gearing can make a wheel roll.

The gearingcommander figure should actually be called "theoretical top speed in a vacuum with otherwise perfect conditions and hardware."

 

its the best possible speed for that rpm and gear ratio. doesnt include wind drag weight ect

get tired of 600 riders saying they're ripping at 170 (only r6's), literbike riders saying they are "limited" to 186 (lol, not even the 10r), and busa/14r guys saying they can go 200mph, uphill bothways, in the snow. all talk. would appreciate more people using a gps on their own specific bike and then posted. my bike tells me i'm going 180+ when pegged but my gearing is -1/+1. went 140 (gps) without fairing and with major clutch slip but will test now that i have it all put back together and the clutch is good. top speed isn't important imo, really it's how u get there and how u can use that power but i will test anyways and post conditions along with it

 

so ihave a speedo healer im about to install. it has a top speed review option. it is suppose to be within 1 percent accurate. would you guys be happy if i took apic of that? or is that still a lye? not trying to be a dick just asking.

 

how does a speedo healer actually work? anyone know or have experience?
