Toutsuite Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Well my draggie can make the Kessel run in less than five parsecs! So niah!
dt502001 Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Nice.... Up yours....... most don't count in speedo error and think thier bike is that fast as the clock says. When in reailty it way slower
Ryan09 Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 R6; 0 - 60 about 3.5 seconds? Fastest iv been 155 on a track
up.yours Posted July 30, 2012 Author Posted July 30, 2012 hi, dt502001, i think on average they read about 3mph over , but my bikes getting on a bit.
wooster6831 Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 speedos are calibrated up to 60mph after that there is about 10% out
Ttaskmaster Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 1999 XVS650 Custom 107mph On the road 6-7 seconds
Moderator Cynic Posted August 10, 2012 Moderator Posted August 10, 2012 Cobblers. Spedometers are way out typically by 8-10%. Legally they cannot under read. Not to mention being fast clears any warranties faster. I have had my tdr at 10000rpm in top once. 107 on the sat nav. 140 on the clock. Its 10mph out at 70.
Ttaskmaster Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 Tested mine this morning at various speeds compared to ShatNav - roughly 86% accurate, depending on speed. But no-one said anything about how fast you bike goes when you factor in general speedometer inaccuracy, inclines, false readings, weather, humidity, tyre choice, or any of the other thousand different variables that exist either on a single bike or between different bikes that might make enough of a very minor difference for people to get pedantic and argue about, we were just asked how fast our bikes go and since most of us rely on just the one piece of instrumentation, I suppose 'technically' the question should be how fast does your speedometer *say* you can go, but I really cannot be arsed with such bollocks. Now answer the bloody question, Bollinger Knickers!
jimmy Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 Dunno how fast mine is, xjr1200, but on bringing it up from Englandshire when I bought it a year and a bit ago, I could have lost my licence at least 3 times. Having been used to auld Brit twins I would wind up for some overtaking on the motorway and halfway through the move I had a look at my speed. Well into 3 figures.... This happened a number of times over the following couple of weeks until I got used to the acceleration
