I've been telling people what my speedo indicated. 167. And I leave the 10% speedo error part out of the conversation.

10% error is the MAXIMUM variance in speedo error possible. So for some or even most riders, it's less than that.

Next time i'll have my iphones GPS app running so I can clock actual speed, then post result to get everyone fired up again!

 

dont cry when its alot lower lol

And for all of us that has a -1/+2 gear change, our bikes will do good to break 150

 

The fastest I have had my 2002 F4i was 169 with stock gearing. I couldn't believe how smooth it was, figured it would be shaking and vibrating like crazy.

 

i just sit here and read all the post, and these mods and senior members are clearly more educated in there knowledege of bikes and there capabilities, i just see so many bikes haulin *** , 160 seems so slow, a friend of mine has hit almost 200 on my zx10, on a track, and my f4i gets to such a high rate of speed very quickly, at my weight, high 140's, at only 10,000 an the tach, it just seems plausible that speeds in excess of 160 are far more accesable, again, just my brain working overtime here guy's

 

We are talking about true speed not what the nice and shiny digital display is telling you. A new 600 is around 115-120hp and they are topping out in the low 160's. A F4i has around 95hp. And unless your buddy pulled the limiter out he wasnt reading anything above 186, which in reality is probably just barely breaking into the 170's.

 

thanks for clarifying that

 

i did about 130-135 last sunday on some back rounds, me and my friend took out the bikes..he had a GXSR 600, me a 01 F4i, i kept up pretty easily and didn't redline the 130..just kinda let off the throttle b/c i felt like i was hanging on for dear life.

 

I do between 120-140 on daily bases on my way to work. I am not exactly sure how fast it gets up there, but it's definately less than 10 seconds. In 6th, I've never been able to put it over 12K rpm. Though, to be fair, around 140 my internal governor kicks in and my mind starts flashing pictures of my son in front of my eyes... Love the little bugger...

 

I hope you have good life insurance

 

My speedo read 172 on frnt straight @ Road America 13.5k rpms I think.
-1/+2 accell kit.
My guess about 150 mph.
Just my
