Top speed?

[cadcamkenny]

Just wondering if there is already a top speed thread started here or is that a no no forum topic?

 

[rem]

I don't recall a topic on top speed. And I'd like to know, as I'll never find out on my own. Obviously, any determination of top speed will be conducted in such a way that no one's safety will be threatened in any way. R.

I have hit 226 kmh (140 mph)with all three boxes on and in Tour mode / TC1 on. I am 6'4" and weigh 225, and have HB skidplate, final drive skid plate, and OEM roll bars, so with the boxes the weight was probably close to 260 or 270.

Pretty sure I could lean her out and get to 240, but I don't really feel the need. Have had her at 200 kmh a few times with the wife on the back.

The speed you had reached and told is GPS Speed or speedo ??
In my case top speed was 207 km/h (GPS) . Riding 2 peoples with side boxes I´m 6 feet with 260 lb and my wife is 5 feet with 110 lb. Tour mode on.
To reach the top speed was in a long straight, and may be was after 5 km starting at 120/130 km/h

The absence of a top speed thread tells you more about the folks who ride these Super Tens than the Super Tens.

Speedo speed, with Tourances. I know that means that I was probably closer to 200ish on GPS....

101 on the GPS with k60s on the Alaska hwy that's fast enough for this old guy.

??? ??? it is plenty fast to get ya in trouble. ::26:: ::26:: I've seen 220kph on the dream meter (k60's) running light and I know from my GPS that the dream meter is off by 10% at 140kph. ::26:: ::26::

Honestly, with a bike like this one, why would you care?

Yep, 140 minus 9% error puts you right at the Cycle World number.

Fully loaded, about 4k feet elevation, K60s, GPS/Speed-o-healer adjusted speedo saw 110 mph with Touratech Zega pros fully loaded with crap, solo.

I saw 125 mph on the un-adjusted speedo with bags before I did the speedo-healer.

Might have a bit more, didn't have room to find out. Nevada test track. :

I have no plans to reach top Speed on the Ten'. When I first got my Blackbird several years back, I pushed it to 176 mph (via gps), but that was on a "closed course " with full race leathers, etc.... I did it once. Now I just stick to the twisty bits and light off roading!
Had the Tenere up to 95 Mph the other day though, before i even realized it...seemed like it was still pulling quite well.

I think I've read every test on the S10 since introduction and the top speeds all seem clustered in the 124-128 mph range. I suspect the magazines make their top speed runs with luggage removed. This is consistent with a 90-92 RWHP bike with a fairly large frontal area. I've briefly seen 135 indicated on the speedo with the the panniers installed, but there was a pretty good tailwind. And I've got the (annoying) 7-8% speedo error that most of us have. I think 125 true is about right.

I can´t remember how much is the difference at this speed, I'm absolutely sure about 140 km/h in speedo, is exactly 130 on GPS
