165 ?!! Jeez nice. Yes I had a gixer which was great round bends and the like, but curious about these things as theyre kind of labelled as commuter bikes rather than sports bikes....but i think you guys have proved me wrong. Actually I prefer acceleration off the line (which mine is prety bad at) but at 7000 rpm she picks up and starts to move. I must confess I was looking at a Fireblade but everytime I go out on the bike I grow more and more fond of it. Just got a full leather suit for trackday next yr, looking forward to that ;o)

 

154, for me it continued to climb, top speed is a mathematical equation however engines don't like to pull past their peak horsepower. but downhill or without air 168 is top speed.

 

Dont forget, the F4i was Honda's premiere ss bike before the RR.

 

161 indicated out of an F4i, not yet at redline but didn't have much puff left. Bike handled it remarkably well.



Are you serious?

Why would going 116 result in death?

 

nice. yes took her out today to test full leathers. opened her up on a big left hander and the back end slipped away a little. luckily Ive done a bit of motorcross in the past so not a biggy....but i did sh*t my self for a split second..lol. All part of the fun...not even going that fast btw.

the 132mph I had was an accident as i was in a rush so not even trying to go fast by the way. the bike felt really solid, my cb 500 can get a bit wobbly at high speeds..but the cbr felt fine

 

Took it to 150. Buddy got it to 162...was fun, but def sketchy with these PA roads lol

 

sorry hate to sound thick. whats PA?...Im guessing its somewhere in the states? Ive got about 44,000 airmiles and keep meaning to come over (maybe Florida) ..the weather looks hot and so do the chicks! ;o)

 

Pennsylvania. They get a LOT more snow and ice up there than in Florida.

I'm still an unbeliever on some of these reported posted top speeds. Unless the bike has something such as a SpeedoHealer with a corrected speedometer, you can subtract around 8-15 mph from what is showing on the display at high speeds if you want to know how fast you were really going.

 

Which is why many of us have qualified it by stating "indicated" speed .

 

its just an estimate i was looking at really guys.

btw met a very nice young lady on the train this morning who told me she had a ducati 954 (?) . I told her what bike i had and she said "oh yes , theyre the commuter bikes?"......biiiiiiaaatch!
