Subject: AW: Top speed


Hello Vlada,

I see that you are talking about top speed. Do you (and the others) talk about the speed that is shown by the analog speedometer ??
If that's so, I have to dissapoint you a little more. My bike runs 185 real Km/h. On the speedometer it is more than 200.
But I don't care about it's top speed.
But what's in a top speed....It's more fun to drive a bike that has enough power in every situation.
How often do yoy drive top speed? and how often do you drive in lower RPM's ??
A Twin does it as no other....


Greetings from The Netherlands,

Hi all,

I noticed in the list that few of you mention in different context top
speed of your @, which was almost about 180 km/h.

I would like to know if this speed is 'original' one or is it result of
some improvements of your @, then what kind of improvements (same like
Raymond)?

I test it and my @ goes 'only' about 165 km/h at 7500 rpm.

When the bike is able to go 180 km/h is it also better in the lower
speeds/rpm or is the engine running better just in the peak of its rpm ?

Thanx

Bye for now

Vlada
