Humour this... an SRAD 600 that can do 190mph

[Jayy]

Had a little chat with a guy about his SRAD 600 and he informed me that he had put 10k in to the engine and that it will do 190mph flat out.

I'm not mechanic but unless he had some turbos or NOS or something in there, surely that's total bullshit? (he hasn't btw).

It just sounded like the ped bois saying their 50cc scooter can do 100mph

Load of sweaty hairy bollocks

600's on the Isle of Man TT don't get that fast (180 ish iirc) and why would you spend 10K on a SRAD? just buy a liter bike

[Pete.]

Turbo/supercharger would do it, nitrous no fkin chance in roadbike trim. Stock or bored engine forget all about it.

First 600cc roadbike over 200mph was only a couple or three years ago so it's not easy by any stretch.

If a 600 can do 190mph then why did BMW make their superbike 1000cc?

People seem to take the most optimistic figure they've heard, then add a bit cause their bikes got a race can / K&N on it. but the time that figures gone round a few people it's total shite.

[Hyaon]

Maybe it 'felt' like 190mph to him. Whilst doing wheelies at 120mph and overtaking 10 cars in one go and putting the knee down at roundabouts and then flying to space for a quick trip to the moon.

Maybe the 10K was spent putting a V&M GSXR-though motor in it?

I'd rather sell the 600 and use the money plus the 10K to buy a GSXR1000 thats able to do that speed.

I know, indicated should be standard in all my responses

Well on the clocks, I may have seen 186...and the bike was still going... obviously indicated

But no, the CBR probably does have a fair bit of power to top out in 6th...it doesn't actually seem that bad, Can't really expect more than a real world 155-160

[Jayy]

Might I just add he lives in Australia and added the "10k" over time, not all in one go.

I can see how people spend stupid money on projects, you never intend to spend that amount but just get carried away.

We were talking about bikes and what to get next and I said a few like... Big bang R1, KTM 990, BMW S1000RR as a few off the top of my head... it was then he said he "raced a BMW" and I said "do you mean the beamer humoured you?"...to which he replied, "you have no idea how fast my bike is, I've put 10k in to the engine, all original yoshi parts".

It was 7am this morning and I was borderline retarded and on my phone so couldn't be arsed going in to it. I also knew this would spark an interesting debate on here

[0l0dom0l0]

I had an indicated 161 on a runway on my fz6 and that thing has 95 hp, plus the aerodynamic characteristics of a bus so 175 should be realistic on a modern sports bike with ease.

I've seen an indicated 186 on the clocks on my bike, how fast I was actually going is another question.

[Slacker24seve...]

[Red Devil]

I've had a true 170 out of my ZX6R J1.

Once knew a lad with a 96 SRAD600. He was adamant that thing did 185mph.

We went for a ride up the motorway, when he got to his top speed, I opened the taps up on my old TLR1000, and pulled away from him.

I was indicating 165mph as I pulled away, and rolled it out to about 175mph (indicated).

What year did they stop making the carbed SRAD? 2001/2002? I know his is a carbed model and the FI came 2002/2003 so it's pre then.

According to Wikipedia... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_GSX-R600

Those models had 91.4–93.1 hp. I fail to see how without the use of turbos or something like that, it could perform like a litre bike with 170-180bhp.
