Top Speed?

[seand]

Im just going to flat ask: Which top speeds anyone has reached?
How fast!

I know I have made 137, but I think I have been 145+ as well.

just trip K&N, secondary removal, off road pipes, and ecu tune. Fly screen and tall sissy bar.

I experienced a little bit of a back and forth oscillation of the rear tire at high speed.

stock roadster with a flyscreen did 134 indicated. no idea what it actually was (maybe someone know knows how far off triumph's speedo is will chime in. )

I think its off by 6%. I used a GPS to be sure. I know that when I added triple K&N and removed secondaries, my friend in a ford fusion sport went like .5 mph faster with his speed.

Mine has gone to the top of the gauge and kept going, My gauge is accurate to my GPS (which I can't see when going hard) so that indicates 140mph or 225kph or more

The GPS has a top speed function which I can't figure out?? shows way more than possible...

I did 75 mph on mine once. I normally stick to the speed limit (70 mph), but I was feeling a bit James Dean one day and decided to stick it to the man, so to speak. I felt liberated, but then realized that behaving shabbily almost never ends well so I backed her down to the speed limit.

FYI, my golden locks of mane flow and set the wimmins hearts a flutter at 70 mph just as much as 75 mph. And, 70 makes it easier to take one hand off the controls to flex my massive 5 1/32" bicep at 'em.

I find anything over 120km/h (75mph) impossible in an open face helmet - feels like it's going to lift off my head - or pull my head off. Same thing in a full face at 180 km/h (110mph). Have no idea how you guys comfortably go faster without rear sets, flat bars and super tight helmet on your scone. My helmets are snug, not jammed on, which is perhaps part of the problem but I don't want to anyway, so it doesn't really matter. In any case, the thing I like about the Rocket is the torque not the top speed.

220 kph with Catherine on the back. Rounded up a dozen mates on their Harleys

Warp9.9



207 mph

Who knows, the speedo stops... Tacho keeps going a bit though....

Used to be legal to ride fast in the NT, now we have done a deal with the devils of Canberra, 130kph is the posted deal. Still a bit better than southern states.

Have had mine flat knacker a few times can't say how fast I was going as I was looking where I was going at the time.

Back tyre oscillation check your tyre pressure Triumph say 42 psi on the rear. I now run 45psi on front and back, this has improved that handling to know end in corners, especially if your giving the ***** a bit of stick.
