Roflmao,160 MPH not!9 with the 12 gearing and the higher rpm limit of the 9 low 150s maaybee all speedos and tachs are off speedometers will make you think your going faster or slower than you are tachometer will let one bike go faster or slower than another because the reading it sends the pcm controls the rev limiter.
 
K umm I was with 4 other guys all cruising around 155 160 so how about shut the fuck up and I'll show you
 
Umm what's more reliable a speedometer and 4 other bikes with working speedometers or one gps pretty sure a speedometer
 
Yup need some popcorn, how does everybody and thier brother think they can trust a bike speedo in the first place? Get a GPS take a vid of the bastard while riding and that would be the only way I would believe someone over the net. I know you will counter this by saying that you can't hold it while riding, my simple reply to that, don't, set it up behind your windscreen. The reasons I do not believe you is #1 you hang out with Jobe and are from *gasp* WISCONSIN sane people do not live there #2 you would have to answer yes to just one of the following questions(#1 do you have a chain conversion? #2 did you up grade any of your pullies? #3 did you completely remove your rev limiter and add some kind of God matterial for the internals of your motor ie. crank, rods, pistons...?), you may have I don't know. You are not the first nor the last to claim thier bike goes faster than our bikes are made to go without proper modifications(read gearing), but yes your friends would never lie about how fast they were going, and you don't have something to prove. I will sit back and relax now, I believe I have performed my troll duties well here.
 
most bike speedos are 10 percent off 160 - 10 percent = 144 mph.everyone on this forum knows a buell xb wont do 160 mph sorry.
 
As we who've read the formula's one this thread know, it's gearing and rpm and tire circumference that determine top speed and unless these things have been changed an 03 9R will top out around 130ish. I've seen an indicated 142 on my bike with a bit of rpm to spare and I've reluctantly chalked that up to speedo error.
 
if you bought a busa for 6k tied your buell to it then i could see it going 160.so i guess im wrong a buell will go 160.
 
Good reply, you defended your point well. You spent 6k to get you to your top speed quicker not to get a higher top speed, which I believe you are argueing about, good job. If you do want a higher top speed go out and purchase a chain conversion, you have already "proven" you are willing to throw down coin.
