from 110 mph = 177.02784 kph to 120 mph = 193.12128 kph
should go past 120 but im looking for who's bike only goes inbetween those speeds and she dont have no more?
I also want to know what year your bike is?
and what your gearing is?

If your bike goes over i want to know the same things too!

Mine does 215 km/h. 1992 bike with a 1994 (some '92 parts) engine. 150/60 rear tire, 14-46 final drive. No fairing or screen on the bike. I never really tested top speed in leathers, only flapping textile.

mine normally tops at 165kph, once i topped 172kph
but thats real km's! the original suzuki speedometer says its close to 200kph

guess i still need to make mine faster

(but first im gonna make it slower, prolly with a 748 rim and 180 tire

)

Just a sidenote on the wider rim, before you do that get a GSXR exhaust and adjust the sidestand. Otherwise you'll scrape the exhaust or sidestand in more corners than you would now. Because of the wider tire the initial contact point with the ground will shift inwards to the turn, thus you'll have to lean the bike deeper to be able to maintain the same corner speed.

yeah im aware of that.
the plan is to raise the rear some more aswell, now its raised 45mm. since i'll prolly have to modify some things to fit the new swingarm into the frame its not really any problem to see which size dogbones would work well

im not gonna modify the sidestand and exhaust just yet...

Some how this thread is getting turned into a geometry post
