I got up to 94mph... on a long stretch, trying to catch my friends that took off on a ride I thought I couldn't make...
Never caught them...
... and 94, is not a speed you want to go on this bike for more than minute or two...
...(my bike is slightly modded, I'm 145lbs, and I was tucked in like paint)... (/90 rear tire is fairly accurate,.. super dry air here helps)...
Suzuki says 88mph top...
I did finally meet up with them, 75 miles down the road at a cafe'...
Since then,... I've never pushed that hard...
I can hit 85 pretty easy... that's good enough...
Can't afford the ticket anyway...
...
Gearing won't help... you can hit top speed in 4th gear....
It takes more HP to top out 5th...
If you can't hit 80mph,.. your mods have reduced power...
