What have you gotten your bike to?

Just curious what is the top speed of the 600 and 750?

Of course I don't recommend anybody to max out their bike on the public road but I am curious.

I have taken mine to 160

I have taken mine to 160


600 or 750?

Its a 600

164 on my old 04 750 tach...but probably more like 150 in actuality since the speedometers are off.

209

With a tailwind.

If you went 209MPH on a 04 gsxr600 props.. :scratch

ive went 167 on my k6 600

I did 187mph on my 04 750 and it was maxed out. With just a exh can and a k&n. I don't think that was accurate but thats what the speedo was showing. My 06 750 has been up to 165mph but has not been topped out yet.

Did you have a JSD on your bike? The speedo's will only read to 186 with out the ECU being tricked.

The proper question should be, what is the top speed you've seen indicated.

If your bike indicated 180, you're actually doing 160-165.

If you had an 750 and the speedo was reading 187, I would have brought it back to the dealer immediately. Speedo's are usually of 5-7%, but that is over 20mph over. My 03 1000 read 187 at Summit Point, WV, and that was wrong as well, but more likely 5-7%.

Also, you guys have to take into consideration that once you mess with the stock gearing, the validity of the Speedo becomes even worse that the stock reading.

EVERY Speedo I have owned ONLY GOES UP TO 186.

I was arrested -- caught by a helicopter -- in a 26 mile chase. My speedo was reading 186. But I was clocked at the highest at 173. Many of the cop cars clocked me at 150, 166, 168, etc. But they took the highest one ( 173 ) to court. The helicopter had timed it using the white lines that run horizontally on the highway, using the stopwatch, as soon as I passed one line they'd count how long it'd take to get to the next and do the math on it.

This was on my 03 Gsxr 600- with full yoshi titatium exhaust, K&N, sythetic oil, engine ice, sprockets, etc.

Just my .02

So around 2 years later you are now on a 06 600. How do you afford the insurance or do you not have any?

i don't have insurance... thankfully florida doesn't require it.
If i wanted to - it'd cost like $375 a month for me.

Thought florida requires it ONLY if you finance it? If you pay cash, then they dont care?..At least thats what they told me.

It depends what bank you go through.
If you go through the manufactuer's bank it depends on them
Yamaha, Does...
Suzuki DOES NOT
I'm not sure about Honda or Kawasaki...

But if you get financed through a public bank, or a credit union... they will require you to have full coverage.

Florida dosen't require insurance on motorcycles. If it's financed, your bank may require it, but not all of them do.

They wanted to take my license for 3 years, but I was able to keep it.
I had to do 250 hours community service, pay a $1000 fine, I had to get newspaper articles of a crash everyday for 30 days, take pictures of "In loving memory" signs where people have died, etc.

You are a lunatic. :biggrin

Thanks... :cheers

I hope your being sarcastic???? You are right? Ever seen a car hit by bike going that fast?
I am not trying to be a safety Nazi but damnit....if you can't afford to pay the insurance, you don't need the toy. I am sick of paying for others people pleasures.

That picture looks like the most extreme accident, that shit hardly ever happens. Besides, shit like this can't really happen on a highway because all vehicles are going in the same direction, this was probably done at an intersection or the car was parked. Shady 17 was arrested (caught) going fast on a highway so....

Saying shit like "you are endangering others" is complete bs, a bike is no threat to a car or any other bigger vehicle (in most cases), unless the car driver is a complete fucking moron and unable to control his vehicle.

I am not going to fight with you madmio. I have seen the results of highspeed bike/car accidents. Lucky for you, you haven't. Maybe highway's near you have no crossroads but they sure do here. Please believe me when I say that a 400 pound bike traveling at over 100mph will do serious damage to a car if T-boned.

remember the 211 mph rc51 :)

Gixx speedos are wrong so most these MPHs are wrong. I have gone 92 for about a second

I saw 117 in 2nd (750) it was close to redline but didn't feel it bounce off a limiter.

People that can't afford to pay for their insurance piss me off, they have no business being on the road...of course they're the type that say oh i'll never get in an accident, it'll always be the other guy. Then when the dumbasses do get in an accident of course my insurance has to pay for my stuff and my injuries when the dumbass was to blame for the accident.

I'm not gonna say that i've never brought my bike up to high speeds on the road, but at least i'm responsible enough to have insurance on my bike. Basically if you're gonna ride your bike like an idiot, at least have insurance on your bike "in case shit happens"

Glad that MN requires insurance on any type of vehicle driven on the road. I know everyone doesn't have insurance on their vehicles, but if you get caught without it your vehicle gets towed and you can't get it back until you show you have insurance.

I hit 168, before 25mph frontal wind hit me, then it shot me back to 160. But realistc mph I was probably only hitting 155 give or take.

my odometer read 174 but i slowed down before i could see if it would go any further

even if i was in a car, and i wasnt in danger, id be a pissed mother fucker if some motorcycle hit my brand new car because he decided to be an idiot. i dont give a shit about the retard on the bike, im worried about my car getting messed up. especially if that person doesnt have insurance, that just makes it a HUGE headache and inconvience for the driver of the car. and cars arent the only thing you can hit. pedestrians, other motorcycle drivers, bambi.. ect. theres not excuse for no insurance. like someone else said, if you dont have insurance, you have no right driving it on the street. your not the only person with stuff to mess up. its a real dick head thing to do.

not saying that i havent had my bike up fast. i had it at 143 ONCE, and let out. if i loose my license, i loose my job, and if i loose my job, i loose alot of other things. its just not worth it to me personally.

Saw 162MPH on my 600 today. Felt great! Weather in the UK is only just getting there for bikes this year.

on my K6 750 with TRE I saw 182mph (downwind) indicated on my speedo. Given I was going about 165 or so. My speedo is more than 5% off because I compared it to the dynometer speeds and was off almost 9% at some times. Gonna bring it back it to the dealer.

People that can't afford to pay for their insurance piss me off, they have no business being on the road...

:wtf
FIRST of all, who said anything about not being able to pay the insurance? OK.. NO ONE --so fuck off.
I simply said it would be that much because of my past record. Choosing to NOT pay it is something completely different. I DO NOT want to pay insurance, not I CANNOT AFFORD to pay it.

SECOND, I have no business being on the road? Who the fuck are you? :flipoff

THIRD, because you have insurance, that makes you a more responsible rider?

FOURTH, why would YOUR insurance have to pay for something that WAS NOT YOUR fault?

This site is full or a bunch of crybabies. :crying
Dont ride without insurance,
Dont ride without full leathers,
don't speed,
don't to tricks.
You guys need to chill out and enjoy life.
Quit nit-picking and talking shit about other people.

You don't get it asshole. I could care less what you wear and how you ride but the second you cost me money than I do care. Uninsured pricks like you COST ME and everyone else on this forum who pays insurance money. We have to pay extra to cover the damage that uninsured drivers like you cause and can't pay for.

Shady 17 ... Why were you going that fast anyways? just rob a bank or something?

I'm glad I live in a state where its optional to have insurance.

In Mass we have to have insurance to get the bike registered i am paying 960 high liability (have a house) full coverage

Hi there DieselDan!

Do you have some pictures of your marron/blck bike ?

I want to know how the maroon looks.

FIRST WHO THE FUCK AM I, I'M A PERSON THAT SEES A LOT OF ACCIDENTS, AND SEES THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO PAY OUT OF THEIR POCKETS BECAUSE CHEAP ASSES LIKE YOURSELF CAN'T OR DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR INSURANCE...THEREFORE ANSWERING YOUR FOURTH STUPID ASS POINT THEIR INSURANCE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT WASN'T THEIR FAULT BECAUSE THE HOMO THAT DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE INSURANCE CAN'T PAY FOR DAMAGES OUT OF POCKET.

SECOND I DIDN'T SAY I WAS A MORE RESPONSIBLE RIDER, I JUST SAID THAT AT LEAST IF I FUCK UP SOMEONE OR MYSELF AT LEAST I'LL HAVE THE INSURANCE TO PAY FOR THE FUCK UP UNLIKE YOURSELF

I didn't know there were states that did not require insurance. Do you have to prove some sort of financial liability or anything at all? What if you can't afford to pay for the other persons damage/injuries?

I think this thread has been hijacked...
can someone move the whining to another more whingey part of the site?

There are a million other threads with this sort of sad stuff in it go contribute to one of them.
If you don't like the idea of 'Top Speed?' don't click on the topic... you know you won't like what's on the other side of the link so why click? That's going out of your way to whinge... (nothing personal any poms out there)

You don't go to some german scheizer websites just to tell them they shouldn't do it coz it's sick and your cousin choked to death on a peanut or a peice of corn or something... So don't come to a site where people ride fast bikes and tell them to ride slowly, I'm sure we all know the dangers.
I've seen two accidents on one ride, one fatal, other heli lifted. I'm not going to run out and buy a scooter, is anyone else?

'88 750 stocko w/ yoshi duplex - 170mph / 280kph

cheers.

and if someone crashes into you at that speed, you're trying to say that you're gonna be worried about collecting on your insurance while you're collecting the peices before some kids have to see someones body parts strewn all over the road?

Then why ride a fast bike at all? I'll go get you a virago fo $300 and you trade me that bright shiny new K6 750! I'll race that thing properly!!!!

Shady, your a bell end plain and simple. I agree with everyone else, its because of fuckers like you that ride/drive without insurance, get into accidents or get caught that the premiums keep going up. Further to that, yes people who ride with insurance are way more responsible than you, unless you are a fucking international drug dealer and can afford to spring 500 000g's for a lawsuit when you run into the side of someone, you should get insurance, and stop telling everyone you can 'afford' it when we know you can't.....:cursing

I remeber seeing 171 on my speedo a few years back at daytona. So I'm guessing about 155-159. I no longer use the speedo drive because the Trigger piece started to dig into the pickup using vortex sprockets.

Believe me your insurance would keep going up regardless. Insurance has not decreased for me on my car..........ever. Even when I was a good boy. The fukin' insurance companies say some bs like, " a new law was passed that raised the insurance premiums". So as you see, it's a no win situation with them.
When I had my fzr 400 in 1990, the rate was $500/year. When I bought my 2001 750 (11 years later, better driving record) it was $1500/year. Since I was gonna race it, I didn't bother with insurance....(now that I destroyed it, maybe I should have insured it!!!) I think that insurance fraud is a bigger problem that this guy speeding. I have known people who have destroyed their racebikes, had insurance on them and claimed them stolen. With reciepts for all the aftermarket parts and got paid very well from their insurance companies. I wouldn't do that because I'm not dishonest like that, but you know karma has a way of getting those people back.

:crying :crying :crying is all I hear.
Bottom line- if I don't have to pay for insurance...
then I am not going to opt to pay it.
I don't ride the bike nearly enough to pay that kind of money for "in case shit happens" When it does, I will pay for my actions, case closed.

stop telling everyone you can 'afford' it when we know you can't.....:cursing

WHAT?
I'm sorry i forgot that I told you how much my income is and how I can't afford it.. oh thats right I didn't. :flipoff
Don't get pissed off at me because your state requires insurance. Mine doesn't-- good for me, bad for you. Tough luck- lifes not fair. So shut the fuck up and quit bitching.
Besides insurance quotes are done by age, record, location, type of vehicle, etc. (Not to mention the ratio of uninsured motorists on the road- depending on what state you live in)
Bottom line, me riding without insurance will have NO EFFECT on your pathetic little life in Tennessee or Minnesota, or wherever the fuck you inbreds are from.

And BTW-- what the fuck does this mean?
Shady, your a bell end plain and simple

shady something tells me ur a dumb ass... and that ur making alot of enemies here... also how to u get into a 26 mile chase and walk away with ur license when my brother gets cought speeding twice and they wank his license... i think ur full of shit and also im going to crack up when u injure some one and they take ur totaled bike, car, house and life because you couldnt pay..

Here's a link to the required motorcycle insurance coverage minimums for the state of Florida. As I suspected, some liability coverage is required, although it's not nearly enough to avoid being wrecked financially for the rest of your life if you hurt someone.


http://home.ama-cycle.org/amaccess/laws/result.asp?state=FL

Ok shady, I will politely break it down for you since you are simple....Firstly I don't live in a state, I live in Canada ( here come the canadian jokes ) secondly, if you cannot figure out what a 'bell end' is then you are obviously about as smart as one therefore. There is a direct coorelation between the power of ones brain to the size of ones bank account, based on the fact that you don't know what a bell end is, it further confirms my suspicion that you cannot afford insurance in your lovely state. The other fella is right, you do have a good nack for making enemies here, and now the whole states of Tennese and Minnesota are a bit pissed off with you due to your inbred comments. Well that it for now Shady, if you have any other questions, or if you are red in the face at the end of reading this I look forward to your next reply which will be good I am sure....

PS: since it is bothering you right about now what a 'bell end is' I will give you a couple of hints, but only a couple I want you to stay on your toes and think for yourself, its good for you....ready.....1# german helmet 2# purple headed yogurt slinger....now you are really red in the face I am sure.....:o

I really dont care if you believe me or not- and I definitly don't give a shit if people aren't going to like me. I'm not here to make pen pals or internet friends.
BUT, I DO HAVE THE TICKET TO SHOW IT
and can scan it in and post if that it'll make you feel better about my so-called "bullshit story"

I don't post alot, but here you go...love the site though, haha freakin hilarious and informing...

i did 115 mph at 9.7 rpm...i have a k6 600...is this rpm about right?

o and i guess ill add my 2cents, in california, liability is mandatory for all vehicles on the road and people sue for injuries for even the smallest shiet.

on second thought, my bad guys, it was more like 10 grand rpm

shady what the hell r u here for.....

I got the GSX-R for the Twisties and the backroads not for banzai hiway runs....to each there own I guess....
But to have it is to find out! No? Gotta admit when I rode my 01 during break in I nailed it a coupla times, saw 147 and slowed down. Yes on the street.

fastest ive had mine is 170, but it didnt cut out. i just didnt take it any faster because it was on a public road. my buddy who had the same exact bike as mine said his topped out at 173 '06 600

they clocked me at 204 once....in a wind tunnel

I don't know why everyone is whining about there liability insurace rates being so high because bikes wreck cars. I live in NY, a state with some of the highest rates. I think I pay like 210 for liability insurance on my bike. I think the high insurace rates they are thinking of is collision, which probably would probably be about 2K to 3K, or from some companies the msrp of my sport bike. High collision insurance rates are the result of the rip off prices dealers charge for plastics, insurance fraud, the inherrent likely hood that many peoples bikes tip over and a whole slew of other reasons. Yes sometimes people wreck going 140 mph plus but it ussually happens when they are going much slower. Maybee these whine asses shouldn't by bikes if they cant afford to buy them outright to avoid having to pay collision. Or maybee they should stick to the GS500 forums.

On my k5 600, I saw 145 on a stock bike. I was riding yesterday with a group of about 20 riders who left me up the highway at what had to be 160mph+. I took my time (only did about 85 - 90 mph) and met them back at the rally point. I honestly like the acceleration my bike has going from 1st to second gear. Other than that, I really have no need to do 100+ mph. I am a married man and I have kids and other people that depend on me. I dont want to lose my license nor do I want to be thumbing for a ride. It sucks to see a grown man asking for a ride somewhere. Plus, I would rather sit on my bike at burger king watching idiots go buy popping wheelies while I smoke a black and mild wine, telling lies and looking at our stationary bikes. Then ride home and ride the next day like I have some sense. :punk

Damn, Shady 17 is a BAD man. I've only seen 110, but I'm just getting past the break in point. I do agree with stpn2me though. If you just have to go that fast, get a 1000K and be like this guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UEg1-6iEeo

I think this jackass and his inbread fuck buddys should pay all of our insurance for a few months............:biggrin

I also live in Florida and don't have insurance. I've shopped around a little and the cheapest I have found so far is $1900/yr. I can afford it, but just don't feel like spending the money on it. If something happens, I'll pay for it accordingly.

I have a '07 600 and have seen 120ish, haven't really opened it up yet as it's only got like 850 miles on it.

i did 163 on my stock K7 600 with a corrected speedo

Props on the chase. That is moving. I'd like to see a scan of the ticket, it's probably good for a few laughs :lol

I've tapped 150 with mine on stock gears in 4th gear. Once I get the speedohealer I'll have an idea how fast I'm going with the gears done.

I know a guy with an R1 that went on a huge chase like that, he even went on some country roads and was outrunning cops. One of the officers knew him from previous tickets so he was arrested a week later with his bike hiding at his parents house.

As far insurance go. I live in Florida as well it's not required but i recommend checking out foremostinsurance.com I am 20 with 8 tickets and a accident and they charged me like 440 dollars for 10 months of liability. it wotn pay for ur bike but will pay if u fuck someone elses shit up. just food for thought .....

For a little perspective:

On the dyno my stock K7 750 made 124HP and topped out at 173 mph (with zero wind resistance and no gravity assistance).

... and GSXR1000's (150+HP) arent good for much more than 186mph real speed when de-restricted.

... and the faster you go the more HP each mph takes.

The 1000's are RESTRICTED to 186. They will go faster.

Enough about boring Insurance get back to the speed!
174 mph - still pulling hard but I backed down.

That picture looks like the most extreme accident, that shit hardly ever happens. Besides, shit like this can't really happen on a highway because all vehicles are going in the same direction, this was probably done at an intersection or the car was parked. Shady 17 was arrested (caught) going fast on a highway so....

Saying shit like "you are endangering others" is complete bs, a bike is no threat to a car or any other bigger vehicle (in most cases), unless the car driver is a complete fucking moron and unable to control his vehicle.

This is one of the stupidest comments in forum history. Not just this forum, all forums.

Search around the internet, you will find thousands of pictures of cars/trucks totalled by motorcycles...coinciding with fatalities.

Haven't you seen what a 2oz. rock can do to your windshield when it hits it while you are going 60-70mph? Now think about a 400lb bike doing the same thing.

The guy that got caught going 160+ on public roads is a fucking moron and you are right there with him for thinking that bikes pose no danger to vehicles.

The ONLY good thing that has come from this thread is the fact that y'all do not live around me and my kids.

The 1000's are RESTRICTED to 186. They will go faster.

ALL 1000's are restricted to 186mph. It is a "gentleman's agreement" between the major manufactures.

I want to say that MV's are not included in that though.

I think you need to think a little bit about the physics involved in what you're saying.

Cagers aren't watching for a bike closing on them at 160 mph. The biker will always lose the battle, but that 500 pounds has more inertia than a 1/2 ton truck at 45 mph.

When you consider that the car could be driving at 70-80 mph the other way, there's a closing speed of nearly 300mph and the fact that the bike's force is applied to the car in a much smaller surface area means that even a relatively large truck would get pretty much cut in half.

In the UK you have to have insurance, the least cover you can have would pay for anyones property you damage that is your fault, but not your own vehicle. I have fully comp that covers my bike aswell as anything else if it was my fault.
Over here if you don't have insurance, the police can confiscate your vehicle and crush it.
I only got 287mph out of mine so far, lost the bottle before clicking the hidden hyper boost button, might see if i can get 300!!!

I know that i have had my K7 600 upwards of around 175 but thats just full throttling in 6th gear im sure i could get more out of it if i would have down shifted to lower gears and maxed out every gear.. But i dont' know my actual speed, speedo is always a percentage off....

internet drama is funny :))

I've had my bike at 164 indicated in 5th gear

Those of you riding around UNINSURED are fucking morons:dissapointed

I've done an indicated 186 on my 750-stock except for a -1 front, 520 conversion. Anyone know what it would be corrected? :dunno Also, in this case, does the limiter hold it back even though it's not really doing the 186?

www.gearingcommander.com

That things is fun to play with and very usefull.

Bikes harmless to cars?? Look at what a bike can do to a car at high speed.

I've had my bike at 164 indicated in 5th gear

Yeah, just as big of morons as you guys topping out your bikes on public roads. :rolleyes

Why the fuck do you care if someone on the other side of the country does or doesn't have insurance? Florida doesn't require it, therefore I don't have it (for the time being, until I find something cheaper than I've been quoted). It MY decision and your opinion doesn't matter to me.

Correction: Florida does not require proof of insurance to register a motorcycle. Every motor vehicle on a public roadway is required to carry a minimum liability coverage and you will go to jail if you are stopped and not in possession of said coverage. Go to a traffic attny in FL and ask how many times he's worked an uninsured biker case.

+1 Everyone has to have insurance. Who the hell is going to pay for that other guys car you smashed into? His insurance?:lol Or who is responsible for that guy's broken leg after your bike lowsided and took him out while he was walking his dog? Him? You HAVE to have insurance.

That's funny, I got pulled over twice on my Ninja 500R I had just before this bike, nothing for speeding - kept having a problem with my tail light, and never once did they ask for proof of insurance.

"Motorcycle insurance requirements for the state of Florida can be confusing. Motorcycle insurance is not required to register a motorcycle in FL. However, if a motorcycle operator is charged in a crash with injuries, then the owner or owner/operator is financially responsible for bodily injuries and property damage to others.

If no liability coverage was in effect for the motorcycle at the time of the accident, then bodily injury/property damage liability insurance must be purchased and kept for 3 years to avoid license and tag/registration suspension or to reinstate license and tag/registration after suspension.

So liability insurance for motorcycle is voluntary and not mandatory unless you have caused an accident but it is highly recommended to be purchased for your protection. If you plan to carry passengers it is also a good idea to see if you need extra insurance coverage for them."

Kind of disproves your theory that "every motor vehicle on a public roadway is required to carry a minimum liability coverage and you will go to jail if you are stopped and not in possession of said coverage."

+1 Everyone has to have insurance. Who the hell is going to pay for that other guys car you smashed into? His insurance?:lol Or who is responsible for that guy's broken leg after your bike lowsided and took him out while he was walking his dog? Him? You HAVE to have insurance.


As I pointed out in the post above me, NO you DON'T have to have insurance in Florida.

OK fine so you can get away with it as long as you don't wreck, what happens when you do and cause not only your bills but 100k in someone elses bills????
I know I want to be filing for bankruptcy because I tried to save $400 a year :wacko :wacko Ohhh yeah, drive that bike over the line into GA, especially on 95, or 75 for that matter, and see what happens if you get stopped with no insurance..........just go ahead.

You may not have to have it in FL, but you do if you want to drive it outside of FL. It's stupid to not have, but then the same could be said about helmets and florida doesn't require those either. It's not worth financial ruin or death on either count to me.

$400/yr? Where can you find me full insurance for $400/yr on a '07 600? Let me know and I'll put my check in the mail tonight. My '03 Ninja 500R was $300/yr full coverage, this new bike...not so much. Try anywhere in between $1900-2300/yr.

Also, I've never heard of anyone being put in jail for not having insurance. Fines, yes...jailtime, no. I'll ask my cousin though, he lives right outside Atlanta. Not that I plan on bringing the bike out of state anytime soon, so it's really a moot point.

What scares me is the number of posters saying they dont have liability insurance. There is no way I would ride this bike without the minimum insurance, state required or not. You people who dont have insurance and are riding are SELFISH and STUPID and IRRESPONSIBLE. You only care about yourselves and it shows in how you act. If you dont have insurance, you dont need the bike, period.

People just dont understand and the ones that dont have insurance live in florida where it is option for motorcycles.

but its been said more than once on here and by me, and to the fuck head that quoted me fuck you dude your the fucking moron that dont understand shit, dumbass! but flordia doesnt require it as someone posted above and read the law. The motorcyclist that is in fault of an accident and doesnt have insurance he is reliabe for the damages regardless.


now i do think it is stupid for not having it said above that i wouldnt file bankruptcy just to save a little cash a year. But why jump down someones throat about something that is an option and not required??????????????? Only reason you would is to be heard online by other posters whooopy doo fuckin dooooo.

But why jump down someones throat about something that is an option and not required???????????????

Because is it is a matter of principle. Why would you endanger a person's life and livelyhood like that? Do you guys understand what you are talking about? You are actually condoning riding without insurance, so if you hit someone, you are liable for a person's health payments, their hospital bill, their pain and suffering, their lost wages, etc. But you dont have a way to pay for all that, do you? So what will you do? I know, you will evade all responsibility for your actions and file bankrupcy and fuck the person YOU hurt up the ass. To me, it's childish. Who gives a FUCK if it's required or not?? IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO! By not having insurance you are avoiding your responsibilities as a man and a rider. Stop being a bunch of selfish kids and get some fucking basic liability insurance. It's only $400 a year for god's sake. If not for you, for the other innocent sap you bring into your selfish world by hitting them.

135 on my 750 ( speedohealer installed ) plenty left. and uh...........full coverage ins.

That picture looks like the most extreme accident, that shit hardly ever happens. Besides, shit like this can't really happen on a highway because all vehicles are going in the same direction, this was probably done at an intersection or the car was parked. Shady 17 was arrested (caught) going fast on a highway so....


Lets assume he was on an interstate.

His INDICATED speed was 186.... 03 600, he was doing an actual about 150 ( until now I have NEVER heard of a 600 being able to pull to a full 186, high 170s max indicated, but I digress)

He was going 150ish MPH. Most cars are going about 80mph. That is a difference of 70mph. He rearends them.

What kind of damage do you think a bike could do to a car that is sitting still, if the bike were going 70mph? That amount of damage is EXACTLY the same as would happen to the car going 80 with him doing 150. That is until the 80mph car hits OTHER things because now it is totalled at 80mph.

:banghead

i did 163 on my stock K7 600 with a corrected speedo


ITs not corrected then...... it simply will not go that fast :cheers.

ALL 1000's are restricted to 186mph. It is a "gentleman's agreement" between the major manufactures.

I want to say that MV's are not included in that though.

Actually, it is an agreement to meet european standards (300kph), and our government and europes have some agreements when it comes to safety, so the bikes are also restricted here.

www.gearingcommander.com (http://www.gearingcommander.com)

That things is fun to play with and very usefull.

It is VERY theoretical.

A 600 stock simply does not have the HP to pull to the speeds it will show it can do.

You're all over this, Joe. :biggrin

FWIW, I have seen an indicated 176 stock... it wont pull much faster than that. It simply runs out of HP.

And if the childish name calling doesnt stop, im closing the thread :thumbup

my bf opened up his 750 one night and hit 180... then realized there were 4 cops chasing him...

we had a colorful discussion when he got home

$400/yr? Where can you find me full insurance for $400/yr on a '07 600? Let me know and I'll put my check in the mail tonight. My '03 Ninja 500R was $300/yr full coverage, this new bike...not so much. Try anywhere in between $1900-2300/yr.

Off topic but FWIW,, K7 gixxer 600,
I pay less than $340 PER YEAR for FULL COVERAGE on an 06 750, which is slightly less than what I paid for my 01 the year before prior to totalling it.

Back on topic,
178mph on track on my 01 750
havent hit the track yet this season on the 06,,, im sure I wont be dissapointed. (oh, and always with full coverage since its a street/trackbike)
-Vino-

Off topic but FWIW,, K7 gixxer 600,

:wtf How old are you? What company do you go through?

:wtf How old are you? What company do you go through?

Yeah?? I wouldnt mind that bill!
I cant even afford to pay yearly for my insurance (k6,600). Of course being a 20yr. old male doesnt help these days...

Oh yeah, Ive done 162. Probably a couple less cuz who wants to look down at that speed?! :eek

186 on the speedo...167 on Homestead speedway at the front strech... And yes I also live in Fl. but I have statefarm for $380 for 6 months full coverage

i totally agree! :cheers i wasnt disagreeing but just saying that it isnt required where he lives so dont give some much heat is all. but i agree with you and not argueing that.

Yeah, just as big of morons as you guys topping out your bikes on public roads. :rolleyes

I have been stop upwards of 20 times on my bike and not one cop, state trooper,deputy, or florida wild life control has asked for insurance.

The 1000's are RESTRICTED to 186. They will go faster.

Yes they are restricted to 186mph INDICATED.

To repeat myself: when you DERESTRICTED them they will not do much more than 186 REAL speed.

173mph on my 04 cbr1k with speedohealer and -1...ran out of road but she still had plenty left

:wtf How old are you? What company do you go through?

Yeah?? I wouldnt mind that bill!
I cant even afford to pay yearly for my insurance (k6,600). Of course being a 20yr. old male doesnt help these days...


I just turned 30, and no my insurance didnt suddenly drop, all the drops in my premium came at 18, 21, and 25 years old. I have always had several policies with my agent and still do(State Farm) and have a nearly perfect driving record.
So many things play into insurance rates its not even worth comparing most of the time. Just thought it was worth mentioning that cheap rates are out there, but much of the rate is based on things totally out of our control for the most part. I do believe most insurance policies are a scam at best, but occasionally God forbid we need it, insurance pays dividends!
-Vino-

It is VERY theoretical.

A 600 stock simply does not have the HP to pull to the speeds it will show it can do.

It states that on the commander. Well actually, it doesn't state it...but it indicates it somehow. It has been a while since i looked at it but if i remember correctly, when you look at the box for top speed on a 600 the numbers are red with an asterisk and it says something like "horsepower limited".

Not when I last looked. I was able to change the RPM and make it say the 600 would do like 200 stock geared if it could pull to redline :lol

:spit

:rolleyes

"if it could pull to redline" being the key statement.

But why jump down someones throat about something that is an option and not required???????????????

Um, do you know me personally or know how much I make a year to comment on whether or not I could afford to pay for damages I've caused? No, you don't. I wouldn't need to file bankruptcy, but hey, thanks for assuming you know me.

Again, PLEASE point me to where I can get full coverage for $400/yr, I'll sign the papers immediately. Here in South Florida, insurance on Gixxers IS NOT CHEAP like where you guys live. I'm 28, have a decent record (mainly a few speeding tickets years ago) and full coverage on my '07 600 is upwards of $2k/yr.

For all you guys saying you have full coverage for less than $1k/yr, please enlighten me as to where you're located b/c it certainly isn't Florida.

Off topic but FWIW,, K7 gixxer 600,
I pay less than $340 PER YEAR for FULL COVERAGE on an 06 750, which is slightly less than what I paid for my 01 the year before prior to totalling it.


And where do you live? Age?

I love how all you guys talking shit about "not being a responsible man" yada yada yada, for not having insurance are perfectly ok with topping out your bikes on public roads.

What a bunch of fucking hypocrites.

Yeah, doing 150+mph on public roads is better than being a responsible rider (read:not topping out your bike) and not having insurance (because it's not required). Idiots. :wtf

I have been stop upwards of 20 times on my bike and not one cop, state trooper,deputy, or florida wild life control has asked for insurance.

But but the know-it-alls here say you're wrong. Every motor vehicle that's on the road must have proper insurance or else you're going to jail. :rolleyes2

K7 750, stock gearing, stock engine, filter and PC, Jardine GP1 Pipe, 3000 miles on bike, run on a private track in AZ.


3 runs:

Average corrected speedometer reading: 172
Average GPS reading: 169

The bike had nothing left to give. Pretty much exactly what I paid for according to Suzuki estimates.

1st, no talking shit here, its your choice in the end.
2nd, im no hypocrite because:
a) I choose to unload on my bike at the track and keep it slow enough to not end up in jail here while on the street (read under 100mph)
b) Im always insured so moot point (liability insurance is mandatory in Oregon)

Now, as far as insurance costs. Check my last post, I mentioned that discussing everyones rates is almost worthless. Particularly because we arent in the same state and city. Insurance is affected by so many variables its pointless to start a pissing match over it.

So your 28, to illustrate my point, Im 30, have paid almost exactly the same for insurance since I turned 25 (on cars and trucks) and since Ive been riding the last few years on the street the same applies to my bike insurance. However, I am in Oregon, I have excellent credit (not saying you dont), have an excellent record, have multi-line coverage, live in an affluent area, etc. etc.
My solution for your challenge of showing where to get cheaper insurance such as my less than $340 PER YEAR full coverage from State Farm,,,
simple: get the f@ck out of Florida! :burnout
-Vino-

396 a year full coverage, State Farm. 1 speeding ticket on record still showing.

Um, do you know me personally or know how much I make a year to comment on whether or not I could afford to pay for damages I've caused? No, you don't. I wouldn't need to file bankruptcy, but hey, thanks for assuming you know me.

Quite frankly, I dont care who you are. I know you are young, irresponsible, and selfish, just from listening to your posts. If I didnt have insurance, I wouldn't ride, period. And in my opinion, if you dont have insurance, YOU shouldnt ride. But that is what comes with being a responsible man. Too often riders are judged by other people harshly because of people like you. So full of testosterone and thinking you know it all. Then you end up maiming someone and destroying their property, and all you can do is go "I'm sorry". Do you really expect me to believe that you could pay for someone's damages if you hit them, if you caused an accident and you cant even afford $400 a year in insurance? And you cant have it both ways, either you can pay or you cant, because if you could pay, I think you would.

I love how all you guys talking shit about "not being a responsible man" yada yada yada, for not having insurance are perfectly ok with topping out your bikes on public roads.

Sunday, I was riding with several other riders. When we reached a highway, most of them took off at 160+. Me and another rider kept it at 80. We just let em go. It was a conscience decision. I made a choice. We all know any choice you make effects other's around you. I am not ok with topping out my bike on a public road and neither should you. I'll stop busting your balls. Just be careful out there dude, and get some insurance....:)

LMAO, you somehow know I'm "young, irresponsible and selfish" by the whole 8 or 9 posts I have, all relating to this subject? Riiight. Try 28, Ops Mgr. for a pretty successful mortgage co. So yeah, tell me how I'm young and irresponsible and not a man because I don't have insurance at the present time?

Maybe if actually read what I've posted, you'd notice how I said I'm still shopping around for insurance....I guess you must've missed that. Simple fact....Florida doesn't require insurance, plain and simple...therefore until I find a policy for less than $1900/yr, I'm going to continue riding without insurance.

I was pretty much just correcting the BS people were posting about "you HAVE to have insurance" or "you'll go to jail if you get pulled over without insurance" which is FALSE information if you live in Florida.

Ride safe.

on my k6 7 fiddy i saw 189 mph. both bikes full coverage about $1000.00 a year for both, state farm. and yea that is lakeland, FL, not GA,

Ok first of all, Do we buy these bikes to ride 70MPH the whole time. NO. We buy them to go fast. Now there may be some out there that buy them for looks and for people to say, " wow look at that bike. It's looks fast". Those people dont need to be on bikes cuz they probably don't know how to Ride. IMO that is. Fastest I have been on my K6 750 was last night. 176. That was what the spedo said. Now whether or not that was correct I don 't care. Alls I know is that was FUCKING FAST. Scared the shit out of me. But my dumb ass will do it again. I don't do it all the time. Just when I feel like doing it. Not all do. Especially people who bitch about 100mph + Fuck it. Don't do it and leave it to us. Again this is IMO.

This is one of the stupidest comments in forum history. Not just this forum, all forums.

Search around the internet, you will find thousands of pictures of cars/trucks totalled by motorcycles...coinciding with fatalities.

Haven't you seen what a 2oz. rock can do to your windshield when it hits it while you are going 60-70mph? Now think about a 400lb bike doing the same thing.

The guy that got caught going 160+ on public roads is a fucking moron and you are right there with him for thinking that bikes pose no danger to vehicles.

The ONLY good thing that has come from this thread is the fact that y'all do not live around me and my kids.

Amen Joe.

Crusty_Engineer couldn't go without running the numbers, so here they are. Anyone that's taken physics or a dynamics course remembers the equation for Kinetic Energy is as follows:

K.E. = 1/2 * mass * velocity squared.

Assumptions:
Motorcycle mass = 400 lbs (okay that's not mass, it's weight but since I'm going to do a comparative analysis, the gravitational constant will divide out of both sides of the equation, so for simplicity let's just use weight for mass).
Rider mass = 180 lbs
Velocity = 173 mph

Plug the assumptions above into the equation:

K.E. = 1/2 * (400+180) * 173^2 = 8,679,410

Okay, I live in CA so the average speed of a car around here is 70mph. Substituting that number back into the equation and solving for mass:

mass = K.E. * 2 / velocity squared = 8,679,410 * 2 / 70^2 = 3543 lbs

This means, in it's rawest form, that getting hit by a 580lb rider/bike combo is roughly equivalent to getting hit by a 3543lb car (the new Toyota Tacomas have a 3550lb curb weight) travelling at 70mph.

Okay, let’s assume the best selling car in America is also the most common on the road. From here I’ll assume you’re colliding with a Toyota Camry (3373lb curb weight) going 70mph. K.E. of Camry at that speed is 8,263,850, and you remember the bike has K.E. of 8,679,410.

Going in the same direction (rear ending the Camry) – let’s assume we have a perfectly inelastic collision (you make contact with the back bumper and stick there). The equation for final velocity in this case is v(final) = ( Camry mass * Camry velocity + Bike mass * Bike velocity ) / (combined mass of the two vehicles). The final velocity of the two vehicles (immediately post-collision) comes out to ~85mph. The final K.E. is calculated using the combined mass of the two vehicles and the final velocity, which comes out to 14,280,212. This is much lower than the original K.E. of the two separate vehicles which is 8,263,850 + 8,679,410 = 16,943,260.

So where does this energy go? Assuming energy is neither created nor destroyed (Law of Conservation of Energy), the energy “lost” in the collision was dissipated into the objects involved in the collision, the road, the tires, the occupants, the rider, etc. as heat (like when you see the big flash on impact when a non-explosive sabot round fired from an Abrams hits a T-72 – see around 1:13 of the following video: Abrams (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6749106989211051174&q=abrams&total=7067&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=3)). That means that the Camry and the Bike took their share of 16,943,260 – 14,280,212 = 2,663,048 (roughly the equivalent energy of a 1087lb vehicle - bit smaller than a Geo Metro – travelling 70mph. Let’s say the rider gets to experience 1/8th of that energy being dissipated in his body alone. That would be equivalent to getting shot 17 times with an M-16 all at once (i.e. seventeen 62-grain bullets traveling at 3050 ft/s hitting you all at one time). Think you could survive that?

Now, imagine if you crossed the centerline and had a head-on collision. The final velocity there would be 34mph in the opposite direction you were travelling. In other words, you’d be like a fly stuck to the Camry’s bumper. Final K.E. is 2,284,834. Energy dissipated as heat = 14,658,426. Again, assuming 1/8th of that is dissipated in the rider, that’s the same as getting shot with 96 bullets.

*whew* I’m done for the year. That’s all the calculations you guys get. I know there’s some errors in there but you get the drift. Motorcycles are NOT harmless on the road. Never forget that you’re riding a 400lb projectile capable of causing serious damage to you and other motorists. Save the big numbers for the track.

150+, wow! I think I went all of about 137, it may have even been 12_ something and then my balls shriveled up creating a chain reaction which led my hand to ease up off the throttle. It's moreso the cops that I worry about though. Maybe once I get it on the track I'll really push it. Until then:scared.

Amen Joe.

Crusty_Engineer couldn't go without running the numbers, so here they are. Anyone that's taken physics or a dynamics course remembers the equation for Kinetic Energy is as follows:

K.E. = 1/2 * mass * velocity squared.

Assumptions:
Motorcycle mass = 400 lbs (okay that's not mass, it's weight but since I'm going to do a comparative analysis, the gravitational constant will divide out of both sides of the equation, so for simplicity let's just use weight for mass).
Rider mass = 180 lbs
Velocity = 173 mph

Plug the assumptions above into the equation:

K.E. = 1/2 * (400+180) * 173^2 = 8,679,410

Okay, I live in CA so the average speed of a car around here is 70mph. Substituting that number back into the equation and solving for mass:

Just so I understand this if someone goes fast and hits another person it could hurt or kill you and the other person, :shifty I was a little lost but I think I've got now :dunno

Just so I understand this if someone goes fast and hits another person it could hurt or kill you and the other person, :shifty I was a little lost but I think I've got now :dunno

I was responding to the guy that said bikes can't hurt cars, especially given the rarity of T-bone accidents on highways. I wanted to illustrate that even in a parallel direction accident, there's a lot of deadly energy involved. Plus I wanted to do some math this morning. >snorts and pushes glasses up nose<

That picture looks like the most extreme accident, that shit hardly ever happens. Besides, shit like this can't really happen on a highway because all vehicles are going in the same direction, this was probably done at an intersection or the car was parked. Shady 17 was arrested (caught) going fast on a highway so....

Saying shit like "you are endangering others" is complete bs, a bike is no threat to a car or any other bigger vehicle (in most cases), unless the car driver is a complete fucking moron and unable to control his vehicle.

Heres an experiment for ya, put on your gear, hop on your bike, get going as fast as you can and hit a car, your bike acts pretty much like a torpedo, and you turn into a human projectile. Pull your head out of your ass, motoryclcles are dangerous, you saying that they arent dangerous to vehicles is like saying bullets arent a threat to someone wearing body armor, whos the "complete fucking moron" now

Ok first of all, Do we buy these bikes to ride 70MPH the whole time. NO. We buy them to go fast. Now there may be some out there that buy them for looks and for people to say, " wow look at that bike. It's looks fast". Those people dont need to be on bikes cuz they probably don't know how to Ride. IMO that is. Fastest I have been on my K6 750 was last night. 176. That was what the spedo said. Now whether or not that was correct I don 't care. Alls I know is that was FUCKING FAST. Scared the shit out of me. But my dumb ass will do it again. I don't do it all the time. Just when I feel like doing it. Not all do. Especially people who bitch about 100mph + Fuck it. Don't do it and leave it to us. Again this is IMO.

You are a fucking idiot. Don't throw your stupid ideas around and get people killed moron. That was the stupidest shit talk ive heard yet.

Quote 1: Those people dont need to be on bikes cuz they probably don't know how to Ride.

Quote 2: Ok first of all, Do we buy these bikes to ride 70MPH the whole time. NO. We buy them to go fast.

If you came blowing by my house at 100 mph with me having a 6 yr old daughter outside, I would throw a brick in front of you. Get the fuck out of here.

LOL V2, Again that is just IMO. When I do go that fast it isn't in any neighborhood. I am not that smart but I aint stupid (ok opinions vary there). Contradicting I know. Like I said, that is what "I" do. No one else has to do it just because a few of us do it. That is all that I am saying bro. And no, I won't get the fuck out of here. Thanks for the concern though.

You have got to be the stupidest cock sucker yet. You sound just like me 4 months ago being a huge squid. "People who bitch out at 100mph". Buddy I have been 160+ on my 600 when I was stupid like you. Maybe those of us with 1/4 of a brain choose to go 70 because it's the fastest posted speed limit and you don't get fucked with to much for it? Pleae just shut your cock holster so you don't influence anybody else you be like you.

these are basically repla-racers with lights.any one who owns one at one time or another is gonna "see what it can do", me included.aired out on a back road we had to drive 30ish miles to get to. the real fun is at the track imo.thats what their intended use is.( or drag strip if u prefer).ripping through some ones hood is not that cool.( ok i used 2 be a hooligan my self , but i need my license to get 2 work).:burnout

Same here but if I ever would have got caught I also lose my job

thats what i'm talking about.going to the track cost some$. but think if popo got u what it would cost. thats why i try to keep it legal( veeery hard to!) till i make it to a track day.we have a local drag strip also, thinking about making a few passes next saturday, going to jennings the 31 st.:cheers

Lived in Fl all my life, just found out about jennings. Think I deft. want to pay them a visit. especially since I am on day shift now.

"Motorcycle insurance requirements for the state of Florida can be confusing. Motorcycle insurance is not required to register a motorcycle in FL. However, if a motorcycle operator is charged in a crash with injuries, then the owner or owner/operator is financially responsible for bodily injuries and property damage to others.

If no liability coverage was in effect for the motorcycle at the time of the accident, then bodily injury/property damage liability insurance must be purchased and kept for 3 years to avoid license and tag/registration suspension or to reinstate license and tag/registration after suspension.



so what happens if the person responsible dies??:dunno

I dont think anything would happen, unless there is a co-owner of the bike

Dang man, nobody's even slightly impressed with all my calculations. I spent like at least 10 minutes on that.

Impressed.... sure.


You basically said what I did though. Rear ending a car doing 80 while doing 150, is like hitting a PARKED car doing 70mph. :D

167 on my 07gsxr600

I have a 04 GSXR 750 and I agree with that statement. I too have taken my bike all the way to 186mph on the speedo and I have to tell you that it was like nothing else. Damn those 750s are fast. The 04 especially.

What??? Dont do it and leave it to you? What? So you are the expert on going fast? What do I do when your dumb ass hits me and my kid because you "just felt like doing it"? And people who buy bikes and ride safely just to have them look good probably dont know how to ride? WHAT??? I would rather ride like I have some sense, stop and talk with another rider about our bikes than become a hood ornamant to some camry. LOL. You guys are crazy. Try to keep it under 100 guys...:)

I got mine up to 145 then the shft light came on... anyone know how to adjust the shifter light to go higher or does it not matter? :shifty

:dunno maybe shift into fifth? Or six seeing that you are on a 600....

:dunno maybe shift into fifth? Or six seeing that you are on a 600....

it was in sixth gear. someone said that there is some adjustment u can do to adjust the rpm's to a higer setting to avoid the light havin to come on so soon

I got mine up to 145 then the shft light came on... anyone know how to adjust the shifter light to go higher or does it not matter? :shifty

LoL yea you should shift. But there is a thread around here telling you how to set the shift light. It was kind of complicated at first but then i got a hang out it after like 5mins. I think i set mine around 15kRPMs. You can also set the brightness of the light, put it at its highest level. Search "shift light".

Yesterday i went 156mph. Its the fastest i have been. The road was long and no cars, so i went. It got there pretty fast lol. Next time is the track.

it was in sixth gear. someone said that there is some adjustment u can do to adjust the rpm's to a higer setting to avoid the light havin to come on so soon

145 in 6th? I went 156 in 5th gear. And bike is stock.

^adjust the shift indicator light. its in your manual.

145 in 6th? I went 156 in 5th gear. And bike is stock.

mines stock, really havent tried pushin it hard. not many people have given me info about bikes as far as performance and how far i can push them yet. ive only been ridin for a little over a month so i still dont know the capabilities of my bike... that is why i ask questions on here

^adjust the shift indicator light. its in your manual.

i dont have the manual yet.. thats my next purchase bc i obviously need one

mines stock, really havent tried pushin it hard. not many people have given me info about bikes as far as performance and how far i can push them yet. ive only been ridin for a little over a month so i still dont know the capabilities of my bike... that is why i ask questions on here

Well the bike is capable of many things, but its the driver who isnt. Just be careful, going 145mph on a bike with a month experience isnt the best idea. Just saying thats all.

You can push these bikes , and all they do is what you tell them to do.

Best advice i can give is take your time. With time you will become a better and safer driver, just think before you react. Our motorcycles react much quicker then a beginner, before you know it the bikes already at 100mph, and before you can react you already might be in danger.


Have fun and be careful. Remember no question is stupid, just stupid people with stupid answers.

A Month!!! If i were you i would take it a bit easier for the time being, until you get some mroe seat time.:ohmy

Gawd this has been an entertaining thread, I gotta play too!

K6 750 - full LV, BMC, tuned, -1 +1 blah blah blah - 165mph (corrected) with still some steam left to go....somewhere around 12k-ish...tough to read when concentrating on seeing GOD before hitting the brake markers at the end of Miller's loooong straight before bending into T1 at +100 :punk.

I can't wait for Aug 30/31 when I make the pilgramage back there. I'm hoping to top 170 if gearing/space doesn't run out. Actually I could care less about my top speed, just found it interesting that the speedohealer saved it and just found out it did that last week. I know it was at Miller because A: my bike is a race bike 95&#37; of its life and I'm not an idiot on the street and B: Laguna, Infineon and Thill are not long enough to get up to that speed. What I really want is to go under 3:10 for the full course, now THAT would be impressive

my odometer read 174 but i slowed down before i could see if it would go any further

same here K6 600, except it was my speedo that read that...

A Month!!! If i were you i would take it a bit easier for the time being, until you get some mroe seat time.:ohmy

i know, i know... but i have been ridin the crap out of it so far. thats the only time ive pushed it with 2 other bikes i was followin. i used to ride dirt bikes a lot, and i know it is NOTHIN like a street bike whatsoever. i know my limitations, but i still like tryin to see what i can do with it. trust me, i know there is so much more to learn in the time bein. but that has been the hardest ive pushed it so far

Shift light means nothing. You can set it to 5000 rpm if ya want.

The bike will not pull to redline in 6th gear stock geared.

thanks, thats what ive heard but i just wanted to make sure. now all i gotta do is figure out how to set it higher... with no manual, so im gonna have to research a little... thanks again

ive seen 184 indicated on the front straight at PIR... Soon thereafter God appeared and told me to brake for turn 1...

Im -1 on front so actual speed may have been around 160-ish?

at about 130-ish it kinda feels like the star wars scenes when they jump to warp speed and tunnel vision gets crazy! then at 150-ish the pressure pushes the helmet against my ears and all goes virtually silent until I start braking... of course this is all at the track where its legal...

K6 600 and i got her up too 146

All of ya that've been over an indicated 186 on your speedometers are full of shit...I saw 186 once with -1+2 sprockets. It was fawking scary to say the least...Highest I've seen on GPS, which wasn't the time I saw 186 on the speedo, was 163. Haven't really tried to max out the 06 750 yet. Don't know if I ever will...
Mathematically I could max out at 163 with my current gearing.

A buddy of mine who is completely insane and has no fear of death...put a +1 front sprocket and a -1 rear sprocket and had 199mph reading on his GPS on a 2008 GSXR 1000. He's not satisfied with that, and is going for round 2 when he ditches the stock exhaust and gets a full akro with a custom tune.

Real speed, maxed out on a 600, regardless of gearing is about 155mph with no motor mods or anything, and even with "normal" mods like a pipe and PCIII.

on a 600, -1 +1 gearing even, doesnt lower your top speed at all. The bike does not have the HP to pull itslef to redline in 6th gear. It is HP limited to about 155. Changing the gearing will allow it to pull to redline in 6th, but it still will be about 155mph just at a higher rpm.

-1 +2 or so will start to limit your top speed to even less than 155. But your speedo will still read in the high 170s, to low 180s

Joe where was you about 3 weeks ago when the debate over regearing a bike actualy adding top speed to a certain extent was going on. now i just pray the non believers poke in here and look and see. math doesnt compensate for drag of the bike trying to force its way through the air

Didnt see the thread... sorry :lol

Wow! The internet is so entertaining. One would expect actual ground speed of a stock k6 600 to be around 156 mph. A k6 750 should be about 163 mph. Having been at an actual 156 I would describe the experience as looking through a cardboard tube while standing next to a jet engine. For those that want to push it, look into BUDS (pot freaks please stop drooling).

As for insurance, I have to laugh at the rationale, " I choose not to pay $1.9k/yr, if I wreck, I will pay for it" If you have the cash to pay for an accident, then you wouldn't worry about $2 or 3k over a year. Minimum liability in California is $25k/$50k. That would cover two days in the ER at best. I am sure everyone has that kind of cash laying around. Perhaps its time to man-up and do the right thing. Thinking you are going to file bankruptcy and get out of a lawsuit, thats where the bad news comes in. You will lose everything you have, and guess what.... The court does not have to forgive the lawsuit. In fact, most likely, they will come up with a payment plan based on your wages and attach your wages. Again, time to man-up.

To kick a dead dog to death, imagine an old man falls over on the sidewalk. Now no-one has to anything, there are no laws forcing anyone to help. Now imagine if it was your father laying there. Perhaps thats the anger behind the uninsured in Florida. Everyone does dumb things on two wheels, but no-one else should have to pay for it.

John

that car is in a museum at a place in Europe as a reminder.
The rider was going about 180 or so if I recall,
the car was as you may expect simply pulling out at an intersection, he had looked up the road, it looked clear, but like a bullit, the bike was there a heartbeat later.
car had 2 occupants, all three died instantly.

<<equation for Kinetic Energy>>
heres one for ya -
A recent show was on where the primary US crash testing company was doing bikes.
They would total one, then use a bunch of devices to recrash the bike without actually hitting anything ( a sled device ).
They said that if a rider was to absorb all the energy of a 180 mph crash
( all mind you).... he could be thrown up to 5 miles.
They might not even find your body.....

take care out there !

I don't believe it at all. 5 miles? Come on.

I believe it, but it is a play on words. they said IF the RIDER could absorb it all.

The bike crumpling absorbs some, the object it hit absorbs some, and the rider absorbs some now. They mean if you could add up all the forces, and then use that amount of force to luanch a slingshot holding the rider.

180? does it matter after 25mph? no helmet at 25 and you could die. Then again, you could die walking across the street becuz some idiot isnt paying attention or is drunk.

good thread!

Real speed, maxed out on a 600, regardless of gearing is about 155mph with no motor mods or anything, and even with "normal" mods like a pipe and PCIII.

on a 600, -1 +1 gearing even, doesnt lower your top speed at all. The bike does not have the HP to pull itslef to redline in 6th gear. It is HP limited to about 155. Changing the gearing will allow it to pull to redline in 6th, but it still will be about 155mph just at a higher rpm.

-1 +2 or so will start to limit your top speed to even less than 155. But your speedo will still read in the high 170s, to low 180s

i did 145 actual this past weekend on -1 +2 this past weekend, it looked like it had a little bit more left. but i gave up trying to keep up with the 1k's out in front.

$400/yr? Where can you find me full insurance for $400/yr on a '07 600? Let me know and I'll put my check in the mail tonight. My '03 Ninja 500R was $300/yr full coverage, this new bike...not so much. Try anywhere in between $1900-2300/yr.

Also, I've never heard of anyone being put in jail for not having insurance. Fines, yes...jailtime, no. I'll ask my cousin though, he lives right outside Atlanta. Not that I plan on bringing the bike out of state anytime soon, so it's really a moot point.

18.50/mo on my k7 gixxer 600 w/upped coverage limits and 250.00 deductible

Items on policy:
2 cars - 2005 minivan/1993 Intrepid
1 bike - k7 GSXR 600

Again, this is with upped coverage limits for injuries and such, I never stick with the lowest coverages... If someone ends up in the ER, the "per person" coverage will only last about 2 days depending on injuries.... I always assume the worst and hope for the best.

but I still only pay 18.50 a month for the bike....

In talking ot a StateFarm rep a few years ago, thye were telling me their system doesnt care about the "style" of bike, only the CC's.
The model is for tracking, not for computing costs. But that was a few years ago, not sure about it now, its not an issue at 18.50/mo. so I haven't botherred to ask.

As far as folks going 100+ on the street, isn't that the reason sportbikes have the stigma of "stupid speed freaks" attached to them? Isn't all those jokers doing that on the street the reason FL and other states are so expensive to insure?

I hope the folks driving that fast aren't using Ins. costs as a reason for not having it, since they are the very folks who casue the excessive rates.

just a thought,

Five rider draft (ie 5 way slingshot) and was clocked at 186mph on a brand new GSXR600 2006 modded to the beyond with VP gas. You go faster than this on a 600 please let me borrow your bike for next race.

my buddy is a wierd scientist and this one time I borrowed his Daytona and hit 88mph and I wound up in the 50's!

All I gotta say is DAYUM!!! Always wondered what the banking would feel like on a bike. Too bad I'm on the wrong coast :lol

Guys what you need to realize about Florida, is it is a NO FAULT insurance state. It dont matter who's fault the accident is, your insurance covers your accident. I had several friends try to explain it to me.

I had my K7 750 up to 165 (speedo) and I rode my friends K8 Busa the other night and got it up to 180. That was a fun ride.

No fault insurance, yes. Saved from liability, no. Screw, especially being a total goof, and you will lose your house, and your insurance company won;t give you a dime...

Wow, that sucks, like I said I tried to get him to explain it to me totally. I thought it was kind of screwy.

A buddy of mine who is completely insane and has no fear of death...put a +1 front sprocket and a -1 rear sprocket and had 199mph reading on his GPS on a 2008 GSXR 1000. He's not satisfied with that, and is going for round 2 when he ditches the stock exhaust and gets a full akro with a custom tune.

I doubt that unless he had motor work done, alot of motor work done. The bike is geared for right around 200mph STOCK, but even with the limiter taken off will not come close to this speed, it wont even go over 186mph stock with no limiter because of the wind resistance to HP equation. A higher top speed could be attained by either adding power or shortening gearing to give you a better torque advantage to overcome the wind resistance. A +1 front and -1 rear does give you a higher top speed potential, but you will never come close to it because of wind resistance, in fact, you would probably have a much lower actual top speed and it would take you much longer to get there. So something in your buddies claim is inaccurate.

I rode Nashville Speedway this past weekend and it utilizes the NASCRAP oval on the front stretch. :eek

Obviously it isnt something i would want to do all the time, but being on that oval for a little bit was fun as hell. :banana

It is kind of a weird feeling on the bike because you are actually turning, but kinda not...but then again, you really are turning...but not really. :lol

:burnout

:nono:nono:nono
dont do that in the night.

mera einai !



I got a Cadillac night vision heads up display installed.........J/K

kalo
:lol:lol

ive had my 08 600 to 175 and its bone stock.

NOT. Maybe indicated speed, but not actual speed.

ive seen 183 on my 06 600, power commander, jardine gp-1, i was chasin a turbo charge porshe down the interstate ha

I hit 114 on my K3 600 (at least that's what the speedo said). At that speed, how far off would the speedo be? I assume the faster you go, the more it's off

O, and just because it's been mentioned so much, I line in NJ, I'm 29, and I pay $388/year for full coverage through State Farm.

NOT. Maybe indicated speed, but not actual speed.

well ya thats what the speedometer said. forgive me for believing it to be accurate. how foolish of me.

Indicated 178 mph on my 06 750...
...AND IT'S LEGAL OVER HERE AS WE DON'T HAVE SPEED LIMITS!

209

With a tailwind.

State Farm kicks ass!!!

A friend of mine on an 06 750 was ahead of me on my 07 750, he had a scorpion slip on and weighs about 50lbs less than I do.....we both had ours reading 299km/h but he was still gaining distance on me until we ran out of road.

My speedo reads at least 10&#37; low right now and i can't even get it over 100, should i take it back to the store?

My top speed on my K7 600 is posted speed limit.

140

The fastest I had my bike is 180mph it would not go any faster. Had it there for over 2 miles. The colder it is outside the slower it is to. On a 50% night it will only do like 167mph. I need to by a 1000

sounds like it is lean :thumbup.

It should run better when cold most of the time.

Personal best was 173.9MPH running in 750cc production class, measured by a timing trap with timing lights at the East Coast Timing Association at Maxton in May 2008. The same bike still running in Production class but after some more tuning set a production class record at 180+ MPH, then set another record for modified partial streamlined (partial streamlined meaning normal stock fairings) at 183+MPH using pretty much only a double bubble and a custom pipe. Check the May and June run logs at ECTA-LSR.com if questions. Fastest naturally aspirated 750 at Maxton. Keep in mind that your speedo's are up to 12&#37; off on the optimistic side.

And yeah, it has had a lot of internal engine work done by Sal at Ace Performance Racing....

well ya thats what the speedometer said. forgive me for believing it to be accurate. how foolish of me.

Don't worry, it's a common misconception:cheers

i got to 187 on my 06 600

True speed out of a 600 is only 160mph.

speedo figures is like guessing the lottery lol

i got to 187 on my 06 600

Your speedo is SERIOUSLY off, and needs a speedo healer. You were about 25 mph off on that.

i got to 187 on my 06 600


Definitely a :squid

163 on stock k6 600

168 without a speedo healer. So 168 * .05ish = 150ish. k6 600

Top speed with 07 600 was 177 (displayed) but it was downhill with a tailwind lol

168 without a speedo healer. So 168 * .05ish = 150ish. k6 600

My worked out to be 7% out standard.

With stock gearing ( 16f, 43r) and a 15K rpm limit, the MAX speed you can do physically is 170.2 mph. That said, getting it up to that speed with wind resistance, etc is dang near impossible.

For all you 170mph+'s out there...I call BS. Who cares about max speed anyway...how fast can you get through a turn? Any idiot can twist a throttle and go straight.

i agree with you 100&#37; scar. any idiot can twist it and corners are harder.:cheers but i dont call bs. my k6 600 reading 175 in 5th at 10900rpm, but mine is also built:punk so i dunno:dunno maybe bs to a stock bike.:scratch

I hope you don't mean your listed mods as being built. With my listed mods, I can hit 168 calibrated with a speedo healer, and I have a 750. I have hit 174 one time with my bike with a tail wind. You are telling me that in 5th gear, at only 10,900 rpms, you are doing an actual 175mph?? I will pull a bs card on that.

well you can burn your bs card. i dont have everything listed cause it aint everybodys bus. i like to keep my bike sleeperish. but if you have to know the motor is bored the head is port and polished, cam, its has 1000 injectors(somehow), the ecu has been remapped, tbr slip on exhaust, suspension is 1 down 1 up the only thing it lacks is the power commander. the guy i bought it form owns i custom sportbike performance shop around here and it was his play bike :flipoff. any of yall can doubt it if you want but i dont care i have the bike and ride it almost every day so whatever (not tryin to start tension w/ noone just saying)

If you meant -1, +1 on your GEARING (and NOT your suspension), then your max top speed at 15k RPM is 155.9 mph. But if you think that your bike performs at mechanically impossible levels, then believe that.

i mean the suspension (my bad). the guy that helped me do it said its considered 1- on the forks and 1+ in the rear.i hadnt ever heard it termed that way either. i still havent messed with my gearing, though alot of people say that its a good idea with our bikes.

about 125 before I got nervous :)

I've never tried to really top out my bike but I have seen 254 km/h on my 07 600 stock other than slipon, stock gearing and CALIBRATED with a speedohealer at 100km/h with either 6.5% or 7.5% error, I can't remember. (that's about all it would do anyway but I bet it'd show a few more km/h faster still.

also when a bike is calibrated at 100km/h when you are showing 250 you are actually going to be going a little bit faster as the tire expands due to centrifugal force. at any rate there are not many 600's stock that will do any better than 260 km/h stock other than the latest R6's.

PS who gives a flying fuck! LOL.

I almost never get past 210 on the track, but I have the shagged out tires to prove that I can somewhat ride. That is a way better trophy than some ridiculous top speed run with the gearing messed up so all your friends think you were really going 310km/h on a 600 LOL

gotta love those you tube videos where they change their sprockets and think their bike is so fast when really the speedo reads 30 or 40% high HAHAHA

176 on my K7 gsxr 750 I think I coul dhave gotten a little more out of it but I am more scared of the laws then anything sounds crazy I know at 160 they are not going to catch you but Jesus if you do over 100 in Georgia and get caught by any method i is automatically 5K fine and jail time and suspension of license not to mention insurance. Its tough to get on it around here without going to the track they hat sport bikes in this little hillbilly town. (military)

How about if you hit something at that speed, its an automatic funeral.

I've gone 217 (indicated...so that means about 196 actual) on my bone stock K7600 while racing a Porsche Carrera GT...I don't know why you guys can't go that fast...

196 KPH , not MPH. You were NOT going 196 mph on a 600, ever, no matter what.

No, it was MPH. It wouldn't go faster than 167 indicated until I got into a full race tuck, and then rubbed the sweet spot on her tank and then she pulled extra hard all the way up until 217 indicated. Doesn't your bike have that sweet spot too? It's right behind the "S" decal on the tank, kinda reminds me of when I scratch my dog's ears.

167 on the gauge: k7 600
It was 4am on a long stretch of highway, so there was no one else around to endanger but myself

151 mph on my 07 600 with a corrected speedo, verified by gps. Empty highway, coming home early from work on mids. Not topped out but wasnt gaining all that fast and was coming up on my exit.

147 With a speedohealer. Thats about as fast as my 750 will go with it downgeared
