just wondering how much is left in 6th gear when topping the bike out... the other night i was coming home from ruby tuesdays and i opened it up on the way home and hit 178 in 5th gear then shifted to 6th but slowed down b/c the helmet was ready to coem off my head and i could barely see... bike is bone stock

it will hit 185, but your stupid for doing that on the freeway.

we have all done stupid things but that''s really putting your life and others at risk, you realize at that speed a unsecured load that falls onto the rode turns you into mulch? guess you didnt think about that..

i''v seen all kinds of things fall off the back of trucks and they sit on the freeway for hours..

hope you can jump a 4x4 or a mattres at 180MPH. I know i cant

Here''s an easy way to find out. shift in to 6th and dont puss out... You may see 185 on the speedo but even bone stock there is error.

yep...ur right...even at 185-186 mph its an error. I heard its off a few mph. (2-5) but thats a question. How much is the speedo off technically ??

Its always a risk getting on these machine but at those speeds even more.

I think we are are all risk takers getting on these sportsbike but some are more risk takers than other...ie: stunters

I once seen this dude do a stand up wheelie and he fell and his femur came completely out of his skin exposing all bone. It wasnt a pretty sight.. As Ive seen pics of a rider going 176mph and crash being splatered all over...

I think there is a place and time "if" you wanna take a risk..totally your call..

hey roj....wow this reminds me of a time i might have been going 80-90mph on the highway at night mind you and all of a sudden.. a metal looking box object.. and I had to quickly react to push the gyroscopic effect of my bike...and recovered.

I also had to check my underwear ......

According to July 08'' edition of Cycle World Mag stats..

2008 Honda CBR 1000RR

Dry Weight 415 lbs.
Fuel Mileage 36.6 mpg
0-60 2.9 seconds
1/4-mile 10.6 @ 148.57 mph
Horsepower 159.3 hp @ 11,490 rpm
Torque 81.4 ft-lb

Top Speed 180 mph.

Well at least we know that Sport Rider mag had the complete wrong results of their testing of the 1k litre bikes.

That is correcto I just checked the mag
You might want to be careful on what you post because if you are not wearing the top of the line proper gear and are not going the speed limit you will get shit from dicks that don’t care about the post
Just my 2cnts
