I have been looking for the top speeds of 2005 bikes. Curious where the CBR 600RR compares to the other 600cc - 1300cc bikes.

 

I saw 161mph on my 2005 CBR 600rr bone stock but I have to admit that was under absolutely perfect conditions and a flat, smooth, and long new highway. I would say for and average, 150mph would be pretty consistent. Whats everyone else's opinion here?

 

Thanks, RepSolRider. I haven't pushed mine yet, but have done 125mph with no problem.

 

135 with plenty of room to spare. and it handles like a dream over 100. Actually it handles like a dream all of the time.

 

Well, I know 4th gear tops out about 140, use your imagination!!!

 

148 and just about to grab 6th when ran out of room.....

 

i did 169 and had room to go higher... i got a bit nervous. at that speed you can't even let go of the throttle...you have to slowly slow down.

 

Highest i have seen on my bike was 156 and I had quite a bit of powerband left, I was rippin on the freeway and ran out of room, was goin back and forth between lanes and saw i was doin 156, i was like, ****in SLOW DOWN. I ride full gear but damn when you are pushin 160 your helmet starts to squeeze down on your brain, feels really strange if you are runnin high speed for long periods of time.

I'm not even gonna try topspeed on this **** without a steering damper, there are very few roads that are smoothe enough for me to feel comfortable pushing that hard, I am pretty big for the bike, i can drop 30mph just by sitting up and opening my shoulders, in tuck position, i rest my elbows on my knees a few inches back and dip my head near the windscreen

 

i hit 128 in 5th and had a lot left. its plenty fast for me no question.

 

please, i've taken corners at over 130 before with no problem. I've hit 165 before my power commander. i'm small enough to tuck down completely against the tank and behind the windcreen. at that speed, wind resistance is your biggest obastacle, aside from needing more power.
