zx10-r... 135mph in 1st??

[Cdb1991]

a mate of a mate told my mate then he told me...
his new zx10r gets 135 mph in 1st and 180 mph in 4th, completely standered i said thats a bit much and said i dont beleive him untill he puts a go pro on his dash to prove it, he said he would but still nothing, he said the guy only weighs about 70 kg but i said that wont make a great different on top speed, mayb acceleration will be quicker but unless he has a tiny sprocket on the rear i didnt think them speeds in them gears where possible? and he deco said stander gearing and in mph so untill proof i aint gonna beleive it. what do you guys think ?

I think you should give time to thinking about important stuff instead of letting someone's bragging bother you.

bruuuu... really your mate of a mate of a mate of a mate is full of it,
Google - top speed of a Zx10r and you'll find that it goes to about 143mph est, Maybe he was reading the Kph part.

Tell him video, I would like to see his 135mph bike going in first.

Very quick calls based on info Here give me (for a 13500 rpm limiter)
1st 101mph
2nd 119mph
3rd 135mph
4th 152mph
5th 169mph
6th 189mph

[MarJay]

My Street Triple will do 80mph in 2nd... So 130mph in 1st from a litre bike sounds plausible.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Footage or it never happened.

End of conversation.

[RhynoCZ]

Does the ZX10R take the speed of the front wheel or the front sprocket of the final drive? If later, shorter final drive gear ratio will mess up the speedo reading quite significantly = the speedo will show way more than it should.

So, I do believe his motorcycle speedo can show 135 mph in the first gear, but the real actual speed would be way, way lower.

100 is probably a real top speed in 1st.

sorry grammer police i didnt know it was a spelling bee forum, i aint too clever when it comes to grammer and spelling but i fault it was a forum about bikes ? must me my bad get back on topic

[UrbanRacer]

He's full of sh!t, he's either mucked about with the gear sensor settings in the ECU or he's changed the sprockets which i would doubt.

If your bike doesn't go fast enough in first, why not change into second?

Radical I know, but I find it works for me.
