    Mid 190's?

    First- you'd have to find someone else to ride it because I know you are too skeerd to go that fast. 🙂

    Second - you'll need to be going downhill with a 30 mph tailwind with the HP your bike makes.

    Third - "with proper gearing" in my car you'd be a speck in my rearview mirror.

      So the question is.....will you put $$$ down that I can't make a GPS run in the 190s?

      How long does it take you to install "proper gearing"? I'll need about 20 minutes from the time I'm back in the pits after a 1/4 mile run and I'll be ready.

        How do you put new gearing in a bike that fast?

        Also not a car, but i'm hoping for 12's on the SV. Anything faster and its too hard to hangon lol

          1. Put the bike on a rear stand.
          2. Loosen chain.
          3. Pull rear axle.
          4. Remove/replace 5 nuts and your rear sprocket is changed. Its quicker if you have a spare sprocket carrier with the new sprocket mounted, then you just swap carriers.
          5. Loosen left fairing.
          6. Pull counter sprocket cover off.
          7. Put bike in gear.
          8. Remove replace counter sprocket nut and front sprocket is changed.
          9. Replace rear wheel/chain/counter sprocket cover.
          10. Tighten chain.
          11. Tighten axle nut.

          If you have all the tools in front of you and are really trying to move quickly....takes bout 20 minutes.

            Between trying to jam gears and waiting a 1/2 hr for boost between shifts i am done with the 5-speed............ I'd do a dogbox, but $$$$

            True.....

            Bikes are a brick in the wind............

            I have even done a full 5th pull till hard rev cut and the math works out to 205 mph........... this was on the new US 12 so i didn't die

              The quote was mid-190's so lets just round it off to an even 195mph on the GPS. I'll def put the $$ down... I just hope we can capture the event on video so we can see the urine running out of the pant leg of your leathers as you get anywhere near 180, much less 195. :icon_cheers:

              I'm not really sure that it matters how long it would take me to change gearing. I can run top speed gearing at the drag strip and still run quicker than your bike when it has 1/4 mile gearing in it.:stirpot::stirpot::stirpot:

                Yes, bikes are a brick in the wind. lol Thats why they are all electronically limited to 184 MPH. Thats why the '99-00 Busa can pull 196MPH out of the box due to no speed limiter.

                How fast to average cars go out of the box? (No BS $250,000 cars now.)

                lol...."the math"....lol

                What do you own that can do 205?(I'm assuming you're talking about your 7?)

                What is a "full 5th pull"? Are you talking about on a dyno?

                    Look at the drag coefficient of a bike once......... it is not very good

                    It should do 200mph even with a shit DC cuz what is the power:weight??

                    Ill bet your bike than my car will do 200+ on 15psi, bring the GPS and come for a ride if you aren't scared........

                    .719 5th ratio
                    4.11 rear ratio
                    275/45/17 tires
                    7500 rpm limit............
                    do the math

                    I have hit the limiter twice in 5th gear.......... dont believe me? bring your GPS and your title..........

                        word, i completely beleive it. Hell my GTO did 189 with only 363whp, i would hope you can do at least that with as much power and a solid 1000lbs less weight! (BTW, i own a x-band radar gun, so yes, it was accurate)

                        lets see
                        .84 5th gear
                        3.46 rear
                        245/45-17 tire
                        7190rpm

                        According to the calculator, 7000rpm is 184, and 7500 is 197, so id say i am correct

                          Ok Zac, calm down, I will bow down to your "ballerness".

                          No, I won't bet my bike. (I'm assuming if I would I get your 7? Unfortunately, I don't want your 7.) Like I hinted at above, I do not "ball" like you.

                          I will, however do a cash wager on your car's 200 MPH run. The wager will be a number we agree on. If you tell me that you won't do it for less than $X, then I will take that as you buying your way out of the bet. I will make sure that it pays for your time and gas.

                          I will be in the car. Do you have a datalogger for your boost?

                          I'm excited to see you run 200.
