I know I'm only about 8½ stone but on a stock RXS on a flat road under neutral conditions I could get up to the high 60's. with small bikes rider weight does have a bearing on top speed/performance but I would guess anyone could get 60 on the flat out of an RXS Regards Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busyeddie Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 You really do have to wring the neck on the RXS 100 I rode around for a couple of months riding it hard, or so i thought, and managed medioicre speeds. I then took a Suzuki 500 out, and afterwards the poor little RXS felt pedestrian, but I rode it like I stole it, and it was quicker than it ever had been. Im 14 stone, and used to get 70 on dual carriageways after a while, and would sit at 60 - 65 quite happily on country lanes. If cleaning the carb, new spark plug, and a decent de-coke dont improve things as much as you hope, just push the thing as hard as you can. They seem to handle abuse very well.
