I got mine to 90, according to the speedo, on a flat section of road with none of the Cheyenne wind, with Lancer's carb mods, but it didn't inspire confidence. Hard to get to 80 before. Since it is now smoother, quicker to accelerate, and gets to 70-75 quicker on the way to the grocery store, it will never see 80+ again while I own it. Not what I got it for anyway.

Reply #19 - 06/25/14 at 21:23:52 I sold my first Savage to a kid and told him up front "It's not a crotch rocket...if you want to go fast, get something else". I don't know what my top speed is, I'll never know what my top speed is. 60-65 is just fine with me. If I'm riding, I have no where to go and all day to get there....

My bike is a Cafe' conversion with an 18" rear wheel, and I have the Trailtech Vapor adjusted so that it is accurate for mph.

My engine has a 95mm Wiseco, Mikuni VM36, Stage 1 cam, smoothed ports and cut down the restrictive ring in the exhuast port, large Uni-Filer foam filter, megaphone muffler with baffles.

One cool calm nght I was on a secton of road that lended a somwhat safe envorinment for a speed run. Long straight stretch without any intersections or driveways on either side. I held the throttle open until it appeared to stop climbing. The bike got to 85 fast, 95 came much slower........101.1 felt like tall I was going to get. Next year I am going to build a 1.5" header.....that may help a bit.

Ton Up!

(Don't pay any attention to the 7,480 rpm reading....I need to wrap the coil wire a few more times to even out the erratic readings).

Maybe with a tail wind next time. My 88 feels like 80 is no problem had it up to 85 and still had a bit more to go it seemed

I imagine that is somewhat like adding a couple of teeth on the rear sprocket. Here is a pic of the max speed captured by my new GPS speedo on the way home yesterday from work. No wind, 96 deg, flat ground.

On a perfect day, tucked down, wide-open, it got up to 80 before I ran out of straight super slab. I would have at least gotten to 85? Boy that front end felt really light & loose.
