zx10r info needed

[lydanial]

ok all,

chatting to a friend who ive not seen for a while last night and i was mentioning ive seen 107 on the clocks on the limiter on my zx10r (2005 model), now as this was the speedo i know its not quite accurate but what i want is other peoples views on this.

ive found a small report that the top speed in 1st is 104-105 but im after a few things.
1 what have you guys seen in 1st.
2 other reports on the net about the top speed.
3 solid proof of 100+ in first.

the reason i want it is that he basically called me a liar, said it was bollocks, a load of crap and that im talking out my arse.

dont get me wrong hes had a few bikes (in the past) zx9r, tlr1000 and a few others but hasnt had a bike for a few years and obviously not stayed in touch with bike stats.

i just want to prove him wrong and be able to wave my willy about a bit more.

Stick him on the back and take him for a run on it then .
Just tell the bitch to hold on

I'm sure I read in one of the mags the 04-05 10R would hit 123 off the limiter in 1st.

Wouldn't want to try it personally

i thought it was 109? think i read that in a bike mag when the came out, i saw 102 on mine (along with the sky) so i knocked it into second!

mate said hes seen 105mph in first no real reason to doubt him really. My hornet does just over 60 in first.

just over a 101 in first for the k5 gsxr , r1 and 10r tested at bruntingthorpe, no idea about the cbr1000 of that yr but i wouldnt be suprised. They will all overead on the clocks as always 120+ etc etc... but lets face it over a ton is still plenty

It's possible a power commander could raise the rev limit; but, I'd have thought it would make very little difference.
170 on the clocks in fourth doesn't seem too unreasonable.
As is being discussused; with quite close ratio gearboxes starting at over 100, an even distribution towards an indicated two hundred and something would probably put fourth at around 170.

Later R6 have higher rev limits, so the same ratios would give a higher top speed.

Oh and most 400s are around 45mph in first, in my experience; compared to the 60 of the VFR. Noticeable that on average the VFR lost out by a bout a second on the drag strip.

[neatbik]

You can work it out exactly if you know the gear ratios, max revs and wheel size

Luke, will check....normally concentrating on things other than the clocks when in first

Mr Nice Guy: 170 on clocks in fourth sounds about right.

Sprocket sizes would come under the final drive ratio, which you would need along with the primary drive ratio

[neatbik]

Well strictly speaking primary drive and final drive are still gear ratios......
You bored or somethin??

[neatbik]

I'll let you off then
If you're that bored work out the max speed at max revs in every gear for us, and put an end to the mystery

[_Will_]

Well i was bored too, i can't believe i just went and checked

Just for you luke, It hit the limiter at a ton.
In fourth i saw 175 on the clocks.
I haven't done that in a while, fook me did it give me the shits
