i''ve gotten to 135...could have went faster but this is when my front wheel bearing went bad...scary shit at that speed....wobble wobble shake it shake it, anyway...seems my bike gets to that speed only when it wants to...sometimes it''ll stop at 115-120 downhill and other times will go 135up hill and keep pulling...who knows...damn carb''d bikes

How much do you weigh? I can get 140-145 consistently. My carbs are jetted (Stage 1 only), got a V&H pipe, K&N...nothing done to the ignition. Chain and Sprockets are stock. I have seen claims as high as 160 on here...claims though. But 130 is a little on the low side I think.

i have to agree with ed on that 1...130 is a little on the slow side..i also get 140-145 consistently and have hit 150 a time or 2....you might want to have your bike looked at unless your a big guy ,because that could play a role

Yeah well I''m sure they could hit any speed so long as the speedo is inaccurate enough. With -1/+2 sprockets I could get an *indicated* 135 out of it. at about 125 I think my handheld GPS said I was only doing about 110. And before you ask I wasn''t looking at my GPS at the time, it records the fastest speed.
Anyway, while I can''t really criticize, what exactly is the point to get going over 140? I mean, in reality there isn''t too much of a need to go half that fast. Who cares if it can go 160 or 180? If anybody is dumb enough to care just lie to them, because invariably you''ll end up dead if you keep trying to get closer and closer to 200.
If you really think you need more power then you have to do some engine work. Cams, heads, that kind of stuff. And its just plain easier to get a different bike.

i understand your thoughts and the point your trying to make,but there are people out there (me included) that can''t resist the urge to twist the throttle back and open our bikes up on a long open stretch of road.....while the danger level is VERY high and the possibility of surviving a crash at those speeds are about .0000001% it is still fun as he11 to some of us...no disrespect intended...

yeah, we have some remote highways in East Tennessee (not the Dragon, but the Skyway for instance) that I have to open it up on. I even have a long downhill to flat straighaway about the last 2 miles on the highway to my house and like to open it up on my way home. I know it''s dangerous, but I don''t know who enjoys this type of machine without experienceing letting it loose once in a while.

ahmen you know too many people wanna preach bout haulin ass well fact is your on a bike and u could eat sh!t at any speed a doggy could bring u down any moment or same jackass on a cell phone etc. point is when u strap on that helmet u know this day could be ur last. thats just the risk everyone who rides a bike accepts. many people die by pure consequence that couldnt be avoided others by ridin beyond their abilities. point is if ur gonna haul ass u gotta accept these 2 things. iam not tryin to preach cause i haul ass somtimes too but those are the rules i live by. have fun be safe and think.

i was not trying to get everyone arguing about speeding just wanted to know what everyone else had done myself i just love the feeling of pushing everything to it limits and further way i see it everyone is going to come off at some point if its there own fault or not you have to live and not be scared of what might be round the corner and just ride free thats all
