I hope to hook up with "Wild Bill" at Maxton... he built and rode a NAKED, NATURALLY ASPIRATED V-MAX to 200 MPH at Maxton last year. That's one hell of an accomplishment!

I know they did some serious frame and fork bracing. My Vmax was scary as **** @ 140mph. It had a low frequency wobble the started small and got nasty quickly.

I had a Yamaha 700 Fazer the little brother to the V-max and it had NOS. It also got wobbly around 140.

My R3 got a wobble at some where between 150 and 160mph when my feet got blown of the foot pegs

I thought the R3 was not capable of more than 150 MPH, no matter what you did to the bike due to the gearing. Have you modified the gearing?

tops 140.


Didn't you know? All fast bikes do 200! I heard a kid at the bike shop telling everyone his 2005 R6 hits 175 when he removed his mirrors.

Using max RPMs, tire size, tranny ratio, and final drive ratio the max for the Rocket is 179.3 mph.

Pig9r, what are you using for max RPM in this calculation?
