If you are running stock Metz, that's 163 mph. They were probably wondering WTF you were on. :cool:

I have a Avon cobra 240/50 R16. I assume its the same size as the Metz. The bike had more left in it, dont think I want to find out how much more either, that was fast enough :cautious:
 
I had mine up to about 133 today, somewhere around 5300, with pillion, bags and big OEM shield. Unfortunately I did run out of gas quickly, so I still could not check the actual top speed. Would have been good enough to pass a Harley though.
 
Never have I been able to reach 6500 rpm in 5th gear!
You must have a built engine.

Depends on what you call "built". Ram air,Lush cams,valve springs and JE pistons with carpenter exhaust. Usually I shut it down at about 145mph in 4th gear @ 7000rpms, but that day had a wild hair and stayed in the throttle in 5th. Probably wont do it again, honestly it kinda scared me. :eek:
