this cant end well...

i've hit 145 i believe. i cant see and F4i still pulling hard at 153 though, mustangred. not doubting it, but....well kinda, lol. i believe they top out around 155 or 160 and after around 125 or so it doesnt shoot up as quickly.

Well I don't know what to tell you but I can hit 150 on mine pretty easy...I have been a little over 155 that wasn't topping it out I just let off cuz it felt crazy going that fast.

Just remember the speedo lies terribly above 100mph.

I glanced at my speedo and saw 147 and I was still accelerating. Later when I looked at the GPS recorded Max Speed it said 136.

I've read in the mags they will top out at ~162mph. If that number comes from a speedo, it's probably really 150mph over ground. If it's from another instrument, then the bike speedo would indicate roughly 177mph.

So if you see 153 on the speedo, you're really still a ways from the top speed.

Unless, of course, you install a speedohealer.

I got mine up to 161 and it wasnt going any faster. That was all it had and my bike is still stock. So maybe a couple of upgrades may change that but i really dont want to find out because going that fast is scary as ****

I've gone an indicated 171mph. That was with stock gearing and 14,000 rpm in sixth gear. The bike would not accellerate anymore, I kept it pinned at that speed for over 2 miles.
