very fun

went out ridin wit my best friend, i own a 05 600 and he has an 06 1000, anyways we live in palm beach florida so we got Morose less than half hour from our houses and we decided to go, on the way there there's a gas station right next to Moroso and we saw like 40 guys on bikes just hangin out so we decided to stop and see what was goin on, we stayed for a while saw some very nice bikes talked with some people, now the fun part, on our way back every one started racin, this road is called Bee Line, is just a 20 mile straight road with no cars , i hit 170 cuz my sun glasses flew outta my face (lol) so i had to slow down and my boy just flew by me he told me he was doin 186 when he let off cuz i was way behind, anyways it was real fun, plannin on doin it next weekend :)

170mph... No helmant.... WOW,,,, I mean i don't always wear mine but speeds like that, even i would want to have mine on.

glad ya had a good time. ride safe and smart :thumbup:

haha I was just on that rode yesterday... Steeda Stampede... they had a bunch of bikes out there for "Forgotten Soliders" or something like that. Yea, we were hittin 130+ w/ about 200-300 other mustangs on that rode :thumbup:

did it again this weekend, hit 176, 6 miles over than the last time, once again very fun :bounce

watch out for the boys in blue :thumbup:

Is your bike geared? With stock gearing on my 636 the highest I have ever seen the speedo read was 164. Rode to Reno a month or so ago and topped my 05 CBR 1K at 185 a few times but I think the Speedos are usually a little off.

Rode to Reno a month or so ago and topped my 05 CBR 1K at 185 a few times but I think the Speedos are usually a little off. Speedos are consistently off by quite a bit the faster you go. An indicated 185 was likely 170 or slower. Still fast though!! :thumbup:

That's what I'm sayin', 176 on a 600, :infrandom

That's what I'm sayin', 176 on a 600, :infrandom Actually, the K4-K5 600's top out around 170mph (radar) with an undertail installed.

Actually, the K4-K5 600's top out around 170mph (radar) with an undertail installed. Yep that undertail will make all the difference sportsfans

Riiiiiiight, well then I totally apologize! I had no idea the 6's were capable of that, I'm still a little leary though.

Actually, the K4-K5 600's top out around 170mph (radar) with an undertail installed. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA :laughingr :rofl: :lol: :laughingr :clap: I hope you are joking. HAHAHA I have tears in my eyes. So with my 1K having an undertail I should be able to go around 195-200? Oh, I also have very small tiny front turn signals. That is probally worth an extra 2 or 3 mph too right?

Don't know about the whole undertail thing making a difference but I've had my 05 600 reading from 172-175 before I changed my sprockets, I know thats not true road speed but Red 05 Gsxr aint bs'n

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA :laughingr :rofl: :lol: :laughingr :clap: I hope you are joking. HAHAHA I have tears in my eyes. So with my 1K having an undertail I should be able to go around 195-200? Oh, I also have very small tiny front turn signals. That is probally worth an extra 2 or 3 mph too right? I didn't want to sound that harsh but I'm with ya man! :clap: I took off my mirrors so I should get less wind resistance that should equal about another 10mph right. After I put on my rear spoiler for more downforce I'll show you my 7 second 1/4 mile times. :laughingr

did it again this weekend, hit 176, 6 miles over than the last time, once again very fun :bounce im gonna have to pull the bullshit card here... in sportbike magazines they have TOP SPEEDS of 155 maybe 160 WITH PROFESSIONAL RIDERS... so what makes you think you can go faster than them when their job is to go fast.... :thumbup:

I will say it again, I have had my speedo on my 05 600 reading between 170 and 175, obviously this is not true road speed as it is not verified by radar or gps, but never the less his speedo most likely did read 176, if you don't believe us grow some balls, take your bike on the interstate and find out for yourself

I can believe he had 175 indicated... my '05 600 has been up around 150 with a bit of room left on the tac before rev limit... seemed to be pulling plenty hard enough to make it too.. I doubt that's ACTUALLY 150, subtract about 10% and you're a bit closer to the speed, it seems to be about that much faster than what the radar's say.. so lets say he hits (tops at) 180 indicated.. he'd actually be going 162, which I believe is pretty close to the spec top speed. _______ and could someone send me a link to these rocket undertails or bike wings...? I'd love to get some more room out of my transmission w/o opening it!

Just be careful with the boys in blue,and wear your lid :thumbup:

opinions are like a$$holes everyone has one. BTW that was almost bashing so chill it out. :arsenal

all im sayin is that i got 176, if any of u doubt me ill b more than glad to show whoever doesnt believe it (whoever has the balls to follow me at that speed of course :lol: )

I didn't want to sound that harsh but I'm with ya man! :clap: I took off my mirrors so I should get less wind resistance that should equal about another 10mph right. After I put on my rear spoiler for more downforce I'll show you my 7 second 1/4 mile times. :laughingr 7's, HA I got mine down to the 6's.....with ice cold tires. I wrap them with dry ice for an hour or so before each run. Dont even have to do a burnout. HAHA

Actually, the K4-K5 600's top out around 170mph (radar) with an undertail installed. :thumbup: --YUP-- ---SUREEEEEEEEE---

Now that I went up 14 in the rear and down 1 in the front my zx will hit like 200 no prob. :cool:

the 05 600 hits 162 top speed stock. :thumbup:

nah thats okay i dont want to be scraped off the concrete instead of me growing some balls how bout you grow a brain.... just remember it doesnt make you cooler that you go faster just a thought Well perhaps the next time you want to pull your bs card you should do a little research first, nuff said.

05 600 tops out at 162? hahahahahaha give me break man

05 600 tops out at 162? hahahahahaha give me break man That is what the site i came up with said at least Let me look for it agian :thumbup:

anyone ever read a 600 shoot-out in a sportbike magazine??? has anyone ever see a top speed over 165mph?? not me

he is reading his speedo speed, and u guys are talkin Mag Numbers which im sure are True Speed, so ofcourse there will be a difference. Keep in mind locaction and a few other things... 170-sumthin indicated isnt to far off to me

anyone ever read a 600 shoot-out in a sportbike magazine??? has anyone ever see a top speed over 165mph?? not me As was stated earlier in this thread we are going by what our speedo is reading which is known to be as much as 10% off on the high side, magazines have access to radar guns etc. and go by true road speed, I have know way off knowing exactly how fast I am going all I can tell you is that I have had my speedo read 175mph.......Wait I think I figured it out mine and Red 05 GSXR's bikes must have been assembled by that drunk ass suzuki factory worker at the end of his 12 hour shift who accidently put 600 stickers on a 750...yeah thats it, anybody wanna buy a sleeper????? :laughingr :2hard

man i dont wanna bust your balls but theres alot of people making up bs numbers just to sound cool, maybe you can do 170-175mph

No, don't get me wrong, I know I'm not really going 170-175, more likely to be in the high 150's low 160's range somewhere I just wanted you guys to know that an 05 600's speedo will read in the 170's if you pin that mutha

nah thats okay i dont want to be scraped off the concrete instead of me growing some balls how bout you grow a brain.... just remember it doesnt make you cooler that you go faster just a thought So basically then you are just talking shit for the hell of it? Oh, ok, no biggie....For some wierd reason I just thought of the movie 'Driving Ms. Daisy'...go figure...But go right ahead, free to run off at the mouth whenever you want... :bounce But seriously, some of the people need to grow a pair of man-gourds and take their bikes up over 130 MPH...Yeah, the k5 600 pulls a little better than the old ones, they are fast as fuck...plus add a custom mapped PC3USB and a full system exhaust, all of the sudden these bikes have that little boost in power they needed so that thier low weight and nimbleness combined with 12 extra horsies actually makes them contenders...at least in the twisties, and considering my entire state is twisty....well shiiaaaat :yumyum:-I'll eat you up any time you wana run!

:clap: HA HA HA HA! ! my girlfriend was reading Peanut326's post over my shoulder and told me to suggest that you get a vespa Piaggio 150...That is her weekend ride, besides her fully tricked shadow...And believe it or not, I actually got a ticket on a VESPA 150 for 87 in a 65....Was going downhill at the time but shit...things only supposed to do like 60... http://www.vespausa.com/products/lxb.cfm And the purpose for undertails was originally reduce drafting: where another racer gets right on your ass, in your 'slipstream' and is forced to use less availible power because in a way you kind of 'pull' him along for the ride....Yeah, I am sure that the aerodynamics of undertail/no mirrors/flushmounts/cutting off pegs and dropping all dead weight combined with an agressive riding style and a competent rider can definately make a difference....but shit, when is the last time you saw that all in one package? I mean, I realize I have a lot to learn about riding before I am a real contender out here on the road, but in order to make it easier on myself, I lost 20 Lbs. and started weight training to improve my ability to control my bike without fatigue...Anybody can put on some plastic and call it 'raceworthy' question is, are you yourself? Wow...aderol kicked in, sorry guys

first off it doesnt take talent to go 160mph, just twist and hold on thats about it, so go to the track and see much talent you really have. and stackle 05 600 and 04 600 are the same bike so it doesnt pull harder, maybe harder than a 03 or lower

and stackle 05 600 and 04 600 are the same bike so it doesnt pull harder, maybe harder than a 03 or lower yes, I know, that is why I said that...Figured most people on this site would know which bikes are different based upon factory chassis and engine upgrades... first off it doesnt take talent to go 160mph, just twist and hold on thats about it, so go to the track and see much talent you really have. Um, well, if it doesn't take talent to do 160mph through traffic down a curvey West Virginian highway....um, well, then I don't guess I won't consider myself talented...actually, now that I think of it, I never claimed to be, I believe I actually cited my own lack of talent in regards to why I have been working out more often: to improve my physical stamina so I can control my bike better... I agree with you, lot of talented people on the tracks...also a lot of talented unknowns that ride next to us every time we are on the road, Just like every sport out there, some of the greatest talent in the world can be found outside of the public spotlight. Here in WV our roads are built like racetracks...well surfaced and constantly challenging...It's a great place to go out and learn how to really ride your machine. And lastly, I am not giving you shit maliciously...just some gentle ribbing...don't get heated...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA :laughingr :rofl: :lol: :laughingr :clap: I hope you are joking. HAHAHA I have tears in my eyes. So with my 1K having an undertail I should be able to go around 195-200? Oh, I also have very small tiny front turn signals. That is probally worth an extra 2 or 3 mph too right? I just love smart asses. UNDERTAILS WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE AT SPEEDS OVER 150 OR MORE!!! I don't care what you think. I know what i know, and you can say what you want, thats what these forums are for. Gives people a chance to say whats on their little minds. Oh and by the way, anyone follow the east coast timing association? Super Streetbike took a shit load of records last year. And they gained somewhere in the neighborhood of 7mph of top speed with a hotbodies undertail and flushmount signals and no mirrors. So go ahead, chuck it up. :twofinger :thefinger :2hard

I didn't want to sound that harsh but I'm with ya man! :clap: I took off my mirrors so I should get less wind resistance that should equal about another 10mph right.

the 05 600 hits 162 top speed stock. :thumbup: You are probably right. With the huge fender, turn signals, and mirrors removed you can get about 170 actual. With brocks hindle exhaust, pc3 and 636cc upgrade ssb was pushing around 132hp, and they hit somewhere around 177 or 178. Badass for a 600.

they hit somewhere around 177 or 178. Badass for a 600. The thing is that magazines produce a # that is supplied by the factory for the most part (I work on a per diem basis as a consultant for 2 magazines, easy job since I have no time due to getting another degree right now)...the mags that actually do speed trials and supply the data don't allways have the same weather conditions, elevation, aftermarkets, rider body weight as joe blow reading the mag....So anyone that tries to argue due to something they read in a magazine really doesn't have much to stand on. And from now on lets just consider it the unstated rule: Motorcycle speedometers lie! I have heard people arguing top end and %'s of deviation and all that in so many threads...regardless though...if your speedo is right or wrong by 6-10%...if it says 176 you are going fast as all hell!

SARATOGA GSXR we gotta chill sometime man and show this people :laughingr nah just kiddin guys i said what i said cuz i lived it not to bs any of u or look cooler, at the end of the day i know my baby got 176 :thumbup:

Dude, what part if any did you read of my post? Yes this was done by someone from a magazine. NO it wasnt a stock bike. It was bored out to a 636, pc3, full exhaust, aerodynamic mods, extended swingarm, lowered. blah,blah,blah. And they had time slips to prove it, which were displayed in the article. This was done by the east coast timing association. Just about as accurate as you can get, they measure it down to 1xx.xxxmph. We all know figures stated in the mags about stock bikes are not accurate, I wasnt stating figures from a plain old 600 shootout comparo. K? Just wanted to clear that up. Just to make you feel better, we'll just say that with the bike completely stock and all elements in their favor, they hit over 160.001mph officially.

)...the mags that actually do speed trials and supply the data don't allways have the same weather conditions, elevation, aftermarkets, rider body weight as joe blow reading the mag.... BTW, didn't appreciate that "joe blow" thing. look at my screen name. :wtf:

Dude, what part if any did you read of my post? Oh, shit, my bad, quoted the wrong person...Ooops...was drunk once again... and didn't mean anything by joe blow, not that you blow, unless you do blow, in which case I am not asking, and I hope you don't tell.... :twofinger anyway, yeah, quoted the wrong guy

Ok, got sick of this discussion and arguing so I dynoed my bike today...put the info in a thread called: k6 gixxer 600 dyno....but here is the top end...get ready: 167 MPH...believe it or not...actually a whole 6 miles per hour faster than claimed...and on a dyno, so no wind resistance, so deduct a few for on the road.....either way, lets say I can actually get radar to read me going at 155 mph, well, in my opinion, THAT'S REALLY FUCKING FAST!

Hints why i am trading in my 05 and other reasons :thumbup:

before idropped a tooth infront i had my speedo read 174mph and thats with room to spare on the tach (was @ 14,750+rpms)......again, like people say, this is just a READING, not actual.....since the -1 change, highest i've gotten to was 165, but again there was more room.

Actually, the K4-K5 600's top out around 170mph (radar) with an undertail installed. I doubt that. Show me proof there.

I smell bullshit and it stinks really bad :poo:

170 sounds about right tho.....stackle2 hit like 165mph (ON A DYNO) and he has a -1/+1 combo i think :headscrat anyways, thats why i always make sure i state (INDICATED) cuz man i know my shit is way off at those speeds....i mean with a 174 reading i'm sure i was MAYBE @ 160mph

I didn't want to sound that harsh but I'm with ya man! :clap: I took off my mirrors so I should get less wind resistance that should equal about another 10mph right. After I put on my rear spoiler for more downforce I'll show you my 7 second 1/4 mile times. :laughingr Your talking shit about somebody claiming something about top speed. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you the one saying that you hit 205mph on your gsxr1000?? :laughingr :lol: :thumbup:

Ski did someone change your sig or did you all of a sudden come up on a 2005 1K?

Your talking shit about somebody claiming something about top speed. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you the one saying that you hit 205mph on your gsxr1000?? :laughingr :lol: :thumbup: no that wasn't him...that was 2005gsxr or some shit. Thats the guy that got into it with Z. But anyways..fuck these top speed bullshit threads..they all goto hell. We should start closing everyone one of these threads that pop up. Top speed of a vechicle is determined by the gearing. Also, wind is a factor. You should be able to top out a bike, as in, hitting 6th gear hitting rev limiter, and that is the fastest it will go (no matter how much power you have), unless u change the gearing. A lot of cars, are geared for 200mph+ but....they will never see that cause they don't have enough power. They are dragged limited. So you want the top speed of a bike...ask someone who knows a thing or two about gearing. What is the top speed of a bike off its gearing? Indicated speed means fucking bullshit. Like i said once, my friend was flying on the freeway with an R6, he said it was reading 175mph, i was right next to him going about 120mph (based off RPMS cause i remember the gearing in my car). He also had a bigger sprocket...but still....55mph difference...take off more for the gearing..that is still a lot off

Ski did someone change your sig or did you all of a sudden come up on a 2005 1K? lol i asked the same thing the other day. He sold his old bikes..he came up on the k5 a few months back

170 sounds about right tho.....stackle2 hit like 165mph (ON A DYNO) and he has a -1/+1 combo i think :headscrat Stackle has since dynoed again, and this time I hit 171...don't know why, but it was the same dyno, warmer day though....this shit really is still not quite a science for me though

176 indicated is NOT actual speed. Take that bike to a dyno and have them top it out for you ... I've top'd my '02 600 out before, 6th gear bouncing off the limiter, read 183 ... took it to a dyno and the actual speed was 156.75. I'm only -1 on the front ... there's no way that threw the speedo off that much!

I'm only -1 on the front ... there's no way that threw the speedo off that much! sure it could've......the bike was most likely ALREADY off a tad over 10% STOCK (which would make 183 = 165-ish).....then drop a tooth and voilla'...157mph i also am -1 in the front on my '04 600 and i had a stock automobile pace me at 85mph INDICATED...car read 78mph........so it was already off 7mph by the 80mph mark :hmmm: it only gets worse the faster you go....i figure @ 100mph i'm really a tad under 90mph.

can't believe we are still arguing.... :headshake

sure it could've......the bike was most likely ALREADY off a tad over 10% STOCK (which would make 183 = 165-ish).....then drop a tooth and voilla'...157mph Ok, let me try this again ... :hmmm: Let's pretend the speedo is 100% right, which the poster seems to believe. There's no way going -1 would throw it off almost 30mph. Does that make more sense ? :headscrat

Does that make more sense ? :headscrat usdm is saying if you had stock gearing you prob woulda topped out at 165mph (actual speed). But i'm not sure how much dropping a tooth takes offs on top speed. I figured it would be like 4-5mph.

Ski did someone change your sig or did you all of a sudden come up on a 2005 1K? No, I've got an 05 :thumbup:

No, I've got an 05 :thumbup: PICS NOW ASS!!!! wtf..where the hell was i when this happened? :headscrat

PICS NOW ASS!!!! wtf..where the hell was i when this happened? :headscrat He did not tell anybody.!!!!
