I'm not exactly sure but the gear change light comes on in the high 60's.

Indicated 55-60.

Indicates a ton in 3rd.

Thats on the rev limiter.

[Barry_M2]

The close ratio gearbox in my ZXR allows for a 90mph 1st gear.

Fu*k that!

[dainesefreak]

Supposed to be around 100mph but that would be speeding.

[Jamie.]

Jesus!?!?!

My DT will do about 20.... down a hill.... with the wind behind me..... A very steep hill....... Then the engine would blow

[Aikman666]

About 5mph

About 65, but I've never gone all the way to the redline. It's got a fairly long 1st gear, so I imagine about 70.

Edit: Tried it out earlier, got to 63 or so before the rev limiter kicked in.

[NSR Mick]

Not sure I tend to put into second fairly early otherwise the front goes skyward.

I've done about 80mph on my NC30 in first when a lorry pulled out in front of me. Only thing stopping the back wheel from locking was the fact it was no where near the road at the time

It's good for about 60+, but i never do more than 50 as it'd rather let the torque of 2nd pull me along than bounce first off the limiter
