Buell Top Speed :-)

[BadS1]

Firebolt,

That record of 169mph was set by a friend of mine. His name is Wes Orloff and I know what the bike went through to get that record. As far as your stock XB9R doing 150 mph you are blowing smoke up everyone's arse.

Bads1 he was blowing smoke up knowones ass but his own ... im sure your friend stuck a fist full off money in that baby.....Great first post

I'll set the record straight the buell was going down hill and this time I was looking at the speedo and the top speed is ........138mph.. cause the rev limiter kicked in and it was on open highway pure straightaway no turns and Unekride is most correct

 

[tbramich]

first off there is fudge factor- every speedo even digital has it. at 100mph most are off by 5+ mph.
i had a zx10r and it read 105mph in first gear- radar clocked 101 mph. wide open speed runs showed me 188 mph and i hit the governor, radar checked it was only 174mph. so dont believe what your reading off your speedo.

I have had mine to 120mph..........................but no rpm's recorded, no videos, no witnesses, just out having fun. I might try to drive a bit faster but I dont want a ticket going that fast, so it might be a while.

If you put some stickers on the frame somewhere, you can pick up 3 mph..

 

[maybebuell]

I have R&R STICKERS 145 ci...just the stickers i gained 5 mph

 

[chadxb12r]

got mine up to 135 , stock , no stickers!!!

 

[buell007]

I would like to see the video on you tube of the buell going over 135 because that was about all mine had today and maybe Ill try a couple of go fast stickers

 

[zombieBUELLer]

i went fast with a girl on the back.. after i pushed her off .. i went faster.. ish .. ha! stickers always work. especially when theyre flames !

I told myself that I would stay out of this pissing match...It is good reading however.
Here is my testimonial:

'07XB12R approx 135ish on more than one occasion (somewhere between 135 to just under 140mph on the speedo)

Todd.

 

[buell007]

yes but did you have any go fast stickers

 

[Mace]

I have to agree with HOTToddy, I have had my 07 xb12r @ 135'ish more than once. Thats when the ECM governer shuts me down... no go faster! But it was fun while I was there!

i washed and waxed my bike then rain-x 'd the windscreen. took it out on the high way and got it up to 180 or so. i was smoking 600 and 750 jap rockets. it was cool. got clocked by the cops at that speed too but they let me go because they said my bike rocked!!

 

[Das Bolt]

What about chrome? Does it increase top speed or just power?

 

[maybebuell]

tbramich..I usually look at website motors like R&R 145 CI .....Then I make believe its in my bike..thats how I hit 180 mph

 

[tbramich]

i put like 10 stickers on my bike too. i felt the biggest difference after i put the street and competition one on, next biggest improvement was my ebc brake sticker- you got to stop at those speeds you know.

I was checking things out today and I found out my Ss was full of piss -- so I went out and rode the piss out of it

 

[tbramich]

i piss on my bike before every ride so that i can ride the piss out of it. i thought everyone did it.

 

[buell007]

I put a target sticker on mine that way it goes faster and i have a target to piss on to ensure proper aim and coverage
