Top Speed???

Re: Top Speed

Just topped the 100 mph mark for the first time this morning on my way to work. Had a guy on a sportbike pull up next to me and we rode down the highway for a few miles, he then took off doing a wheelie at 80-90 mph. I let him get a little way ahead of me and figured if he could do that and not see any flashing lights I could open it up a bit and ended up going about 110mph for a short time.

Re: how fast can you go

I had my FZ6 at 155MPH with Scorpions on it 154 without, but that was all it had. hindsite being what it is, if I haddn't done that so much I'd probably still have my FZ6

What happened to it?

Re: how fast can you go

A strange thing happens, every time I get to 80 mph my seat gets wet making it very uncomfortable:Flash: so I try to limit my speed to below that.:rockon:

Re: how fast can you go

Made it to 127 today on the highway (great visibility on a straightaway) before I saw traffic a few miles ahead and slowed it down. As soon as I broke 100 I became a little uncomfortable, so I probably won't push it like that again for a while.

Re: how fast can you go

got mine to 142 racing some guy on a liter bike....good thing for both of us i glanced down at this long on ramp we were passing at warp speed to make sure it was clear, cuz there was a cop getting on the freeway! So I shut it down in a hurry, got his attention and he followed suit, so by the time the cop got on we were back down to 75 in a 70 :Flip::rockon:

All stock 2004 FZ6...you can obtain a higher top speed if you ride on one wheel. :thumbup:

Re: how fast can you go

150mph on any day when the traffic is light on my commute. Eats fuel though

Re: how fast can you go

I've seen 127MPh on my '07, and if there wasn't any traffic ahead I would have pushed it some. It was certainly fast enough, 100 doesn't even Faze me anymore, lol


Great bikes!

Re: Top Speed

Ok, Im not on an FZ, but had my CBR to 168mph indicated. My buddy on a GSXR1000 past me at 183mph indicated on his. Yeah I know...:spank: me. In the illustrious words of the Human Torch, "Flame-On"!

Re: Top Speed

240kmph or 150mph wind assisted.....I just had to know....Only one directional road with no intersections and well fenced with emergency lanes both sides and no traffic.....yeah I know:spank::spank: It was really scarey/fun though:rockon::rockon:.

Re: Top Speed

[D-Rock]

Re: Top Speed

had mine to 144mph... I knew a guy that said his FZ6 hit 168mph and that is all it would go... I'll stick to 144mph for now.:thumbup:

Re: Top Speed

Mine wasn't too smart.

from: 29.489965,-98.577576 to: 29.319781,-98.507023 - Google Maps

Posted limit was between 60-65MPH, but I was really wanted to get home ASAP. Was doing a minimum of 90 for the majority of the trip, but speedo read a max of 142MPH as I started getting closer to my house.

Not one of my better decisions: riding home(in scrubs) @2AM after clocking 21hrs. at work. Half asleep, poor visibility & other vehicles on the rode... :spank:
