Buell Top Speed :-)

[mowgoli84]

Actually I beat my friends 1125 yesterday he just beat me on top end.

BAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OMG


what a joke.

 

[firefighter1c57]

Damn Firefighter that's impressive ! You lost me at POSTED .

Here's the short version.
Not possible with a belt drive without being able to turn 7800 RPM's. Not possible to turn 7800 RPM's without a RR engine.

Might be possible with a chain drive conversion though then weight to power ratio would have to be calculated as well as rolling resistance, engine friction lose and drag coefficient.

Welp firefighter is the judge and the jury this case is dismissed and chalked up to user error/faulty equipment this top speed run has been disqualified. LMAO

 

[Loki]

Well i hope since he thinks "this thread is a joke." He can go somewhere else while we laugh at his joke he believes is true.

 

[sk8ace]

The link I posted on the last page said about the same thing as firefighter +/- a few mph. The easy way to do the calculations, just plug in the numbers

 

[mowgoli84]

I was riding the other day.. outran a busa then got real ballsy and outran a fighter jet that was flying above me at the speed of sound..

I know i was cause he told me when he landed in my driveway.

[up] lol

In that case a xb 9 with rpm limit of 7800 Wich I'm pretty sure that's right with xb 12 gearing can go 160 correct as long as it has the HP to get there can you put the 12 gearing on the 9?

 

[oh9bolt]

But he has a 12

 

[anrkizm95]

I know .just thinking 12 gears on a 9 if his math is right if you can swap the gearing 160 right.anyone want to trade a 9 for a 12.

Mine redlined around 7300-7400 right in their. so keep doing your formulas cuz none of you have a clue what's done to my motor.

 

[oh9bolt]

Did it blow up? You are speaking in past tense.

what is done to it? it would be neat to see a thread with engine mods. especially if its raising the rev limit in a reliable fashion, which would also increase hp. there arent too many people doing engine modifications. but even still that is 4-500 rpm away from whats required based on the previous arguments.

rrh481 I noticed you have not answered yes to my three questions and you have not posted a video of a gps on your bike while riding... Therefore I must ask, why have you responded again and again in this thread? Proof please. Other wise this is just a my dad is bigger than your dad arguement(only my dad is bigger than your dad), either way I hope you do post your proof.

 

[bunkstar]

This morning on my way to work I was at about 122 before I started to wiggle like crazy. Guess I need to get a steering damper.

 

[rrh481]

Hey beefy maybe if you read all the post you will see that I said I would take a vid this weekend. And an answer to one of your questions, maybe if people didn't talk shit on this forum I would be glad to share what I all did to my bike

 

[BuellerPilot]

rrh481,

Good looking bike! How much was the powder coat on the rims?

Did you change the primary gearing ratios or any of the internal transmission gearing (I've never seen any alternate ratio tranny gears available, but perhaps you know of a Sportster gear set that fits or something else?)? You've already stated your running the stock drive belt ratios, so that's all that is left to achieve that kind of speed (primary or tranny), curious.

~Mike....

 

[rrh481]

The rims I paid 200 for the powder coat.

False stock 08 xb12rs have a completely diff crank they top out at 155 and my bikes not stock and it was dyne tuned witch showed my bike doing 159 160 so pretty sure I'm not wrong

. . .Ok feller, My bike is a 0812S which i ride regularly along side two ZX10's a ZX12 and a V-Max. I'm down in TX with tons of long straight roads to get wide open on. after 7000 miles of riding in a season i have come to the conclusion that the only way for me to break that 140ish plane is to buy a different bike. I'm no mechanic how ever my riding buddy has been building race bikes and cars for 30 years is, and with out major engine work or a different engine all together you can only reach that 140ish faster even with a turbo and NOS and chain drive and any other power adder. You're on a forum with a lot of knowledge and experience, you may not realize it but you're arguing with engineers and other extremely educated and intelligent people. if you want to jump onto a forum and brag about your bike blowing away I-4's on the top end then i'm sure SSB or some pop-culture forum has plenty of entertaining opponents for you to banter with. I have no ill will toward you and I only say this to try to help you realize that MAYBE you're not actually fooling anyone.
