I know our buell's arnt ment to compete with the japs in a straight line, but iam curious how fast people have gotten their bikes up to.

My 03 XB9S started to wobble at 110 (but i think a new tire K&N and a exaust will help

They go 138mph on the GPS. Indicated 143mph. I'm pretty sure ALL the xb9 and 12 top out the same.

Anybody says different, they are full of crap, no matter the amount of motor work. Unless they've changed their primary gearing or final drive (belt/chain).

Xb9s are geared higher.

Just reached 220km/h(138mph) as i it the redline.
2004 xb12s, with stage1.

I got another question, what´s the performance of xb12 from 0 to 100km/h and 0 to 200km/h in sec ?and reprises ?anyone?

my 9s hasnt had the work done yet but i wonder why it wobbled the road was smooth but its wasnt no asphalt...(i thought i was cool passin my dad on his 1125r he passed doin 130 got to 155 and backed off) Ive never heard how fast the r/cr goes)
1125 really does give the japs a run for their money especially in the corners AMA PROVED!!![up]

Have had 2 seperate '03 Firebolts and then my GF's '03 Lightning all top out at 135mph, all 900's. Never had a wobble, just the fastest they would go.

Mod should delete the doublke post.[up]

Speedo says a **** hair past 145 but obviously its never perfect, the post about the 138mph on gps is probably correct.

About your wobble at speed. Check you steering head bearings. Jack the front of the ground and check for free play in the front end in relation to the frame. You could try...; Make sure your bottom tree clamps are tightened on your forks, THEN loosen the top triple clamps 3 bolts on the 2 forks and steering stem. Tighten the nut on the steering stem. Then re-tighten the 3 bolts on the top triple clamp. This will squeeze your tree clamps on to the steering bearings.

I had a RAM mount in my stem instead of that stem nut. I started to get head shake all the time, and that was my fix.

07' XB12R, D&D, Filter, Race ECM, Breather Re-Route.

My speedo read 140 and I was at 7000 rpm with very lttle extra push. I probably could have got to 7200 but backed out.

Check your suspension settings for the head wobble.
