Buell Top Speed :-)

[7Mary3]

I went as fast as the Millenium Falcon at warp speed.

Compared to some of the shit talkers, I am a P*ssy I suppose. I have only had mine up to 100 on a public road. Hell I dont do 100 in my truck and it has crumple zones and full air bags. I have too much respect for asphalt and the passer-by who would be dialing 911 while looking at my exposed brain, bones and intestines...

140mph here... took it a while to get my fat ass up there

I admit it...I love to speed and take corners fast. I am the first one to accept the legal consequences and/or the "final" consequence. But I could be killed by a drunk driver tomorrow in my car...everything is dangerous and can kill you.

I did 157 in 5th gear on my 1125r (I will max out before the end of summer)

138 on snareman96's 09 xb12r (thats bouncing off the rev limiter...should be faster shouldnt it?)

145 on my buddies 05 R1 (of course it had WAY more to go)

I just did a top speed on my '07 Firebolt 12R yesterday. I borrowed the GPS off of my '08 Yamaha R1 and I got 139mph indicated but GPS said 124. Funny though, on my R1 the digital speedo stops at 187mph but GPS said 192mph (the Yamaha is far from stock and that was without the nitrous on)....but the Buell is a lot more fun on the streets.

OK well, wow I have laughed ALOT reading all these pages and so far I get that the 12R has gearing for about 140ish.

So here is a serious question. Can't you change the rear pulley size? Not that anyone would I mean who cares about top speed..lol but lower rpm on the freeway might be cool.

 

[strmvt]

chain conversion put 21 on front and 47 or 48 tooth can't remember and that will get you 150ish I think

 

[johnny8462]

05 12R 148 on the gps with about 500 in revs left

 

[AJManning]

DID ANYONE TINK ABOUT CHANGING SPROCKET SIZES.........THAT INCREASES OR DECREASES TOP END.......

Had alot of fun coming back from school playing around with a Mustang cobra. Not smart but weaving around traffic at 130 was ALOT of fun. Didnt try any faster because my backpack was being cought by the wind and pulling me up and i didnt feel safe pushing it any farther
2003 XB9R fastest so far for me is around 130

135 without race flash and jardine on a 03' xb9r. Update soon

Worlds fastest bike!!!

Theoretically only.

[anrkizm95]

worlds slowest theoretically

 

[Alfatango1]

Theoretically only.

Because Dodge chose to ignore one little factor. Drag!

 

[anrkizm95]

drag has nothing to do with top speed.

 

[Alfatango1]

drag has nothing to do with top speed.

At very low speeds, the effects of aerodynamic drag are minimal. At the same time, the engine can exert a very large force at low speeds, meaning that the acceleration force will be high. At higher speeds, the drag builds up, and the engine's force decreases. Eventually, the drag force and engine force will become equal, leaving no force left for acceleration. It is at this speed that the vehicle is said to have reached its drag-limited top speed.

But I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time.

just being sarcastic in refrence to another thread.i agree
