Default top speeds.

hey all. Dont post on here much, though I lurk. I have an F2 over here in New Zealand (no, its not part of australia!!)

Anyway, I have quite high mileage on my bike, and though I can get to 140-145miles an hour, acceleration slows significantly at the top end.
my first question is this.
How long does your f2 take to get from 100-110, 110-120- 120-130, and 130-140? I find mine gets to 100 quite well, slows down a tad getting to 110, a tad more to 120, then drops a bit on the way to 130, and getting to 140 takes a bit of a wait.

Also, I have read the horsepower figures on paper between f1's and f2's, just wondered if anyone knows the difference on the track between the two, time-wise down the 1/4 mile.

My question is, where do you guys find the spaces/***** to perform these kinds of tests? The fastest I've ever gone was watching F2s on Youtube videos.

How much high mileage are we talking here?

That sounds about right for a stock f2. Also depends on your weight, drag etc, But if you can get to 145mph then its running just fine.
I thought NZ used kph like here in Oz? lol

Yea i wonder that too... even if the road is clear and straight, if you hit some gravel or an unexpected bump on the road in that kinds of speed your pretty much screwed.

Then its better to test it out on a track that is inspected and made for those speeds...

Take a ride down the road before doing so? If your gonna do something stupid, might as well take the time to check out the route and do a cop check BEFORE you do it instead of finding out the hard way afterwards.

At 120mph in the middle of nowhere, they won't chase you


Nah, in all seriousness, these bikes do creep up to their last little bit of potential. It's been that way on most of the bikes I have. I'm also two teeth up the rear though

There is a huge difference between the F1 and the F2.... weight being a big one... suspension and brakes were also upgraded significantly. (don't know about 1/4 mile times though)

I am always nervous when i get around 100 on my bike. the police the other cars the pavement, some other unexpected shyt. I just don't see how ppl can do it on a public road, maybe i just need some more experience. but to help answer your question, my bike rips like a beast up till 100.
