Just wondering if anyone has actually taken the R3 to its limit? I've seen and heard the number 140mph tossed about but that seems rather exaggerated. Can someone confirm that?
It is exageratted, unless you have a header system, improved air intake system and an excellent dyno tune from a pro.
My 2012 With 62,000 miles and all the above was fully loaded with panniers and rear bag on a trip in Arizona last week. I got into a pissing match with a hot car and it did 146 on my Zumo GPS.
Use TuneECU to load a proper tune into it and remove the speed limitation. Mine saw 165 on the dyno, but I think about 135 was as much as I ever took it to when riding.
Nay nay. My engine is completely stock.
Only exhaust, intake and a tuner guru have been added.
After this happy surprise, I now must give it another try without my metal panniers, tank bag, and rear rack with bag . . .
