bike speedos are ALWAYS WAYYYY off… my 636 would read 189… gps would let me know that it was truly only 159.9… which was more than fast enough for me, the 10r has a speedohealer, but still gps reads much lower than the speedo at top speed… ~168.7 mph… now the gsxr on the other hand is geared taller, i bet it hits close to 190 on the gps

I would think that at those speeds, your eyes would be glued to the road. 100+ is FAST, in the split second that you look down to see your speedometer, someone could pull out in front of you, a deer could run out in front of you, anything could happen and you’re done.
I never looked at the speedo waited for the shift light in 5th to come on and then went and looked up what my top speed would be with tire size gearing and what not. And that came out to 169mph so i wouldnt mind doin a run with a gps to see how far off it is.

> Turboing your car won’t change the gear ratio. You’ll only ever be able to top out at 140 unless you rev the piss out of it. Theoretically you can hit 160 if you rev to 9500 rpm but that’s another topic completely.
I’m aware of this…at least it’ll get there faster 😃

There are options, ya know? It’s expensive, but there’s an available 6-speed for it. PRD offers it.

You aint shittin! I’ve had the Hawk pads on my car (with the addition of bigger rotors) and my car brakes REAL fast. I can peel 80mph down to 30 in a second (not really but, fast)

if you cant register your speedo in like 1/10 of a second you’re mentally slow. plus you should know your gearing vs revs vs sound vs speed

im thinking more or less the people that are taking pictures of them. if it takes you 1/10 of a second to whip out your cell phone or other photo capturing device, aim it, and snap a picture, then damn you’re good!
