AT told me a guy did 320km/h on a stock RR4 and beat a guy on a modded 02 or 03 R1, not 04 as mentioned previously.

Also he kept singing praises for the RR4 when I offered him to ride it a 2nd time over a longer route. He spoke so much during a dinner and carbon clearing trip, I couldn't remember everything as I was enjoying the food. Haha.

Somethings I can remember is:

1. the short throw when shifting.

2. the superb cornering, even the center portion of my rear tire is nearly worn out.

3. the stability

4. he asked the customs officer whether he can put in his cash card 3 times as he forgot to do so for his maiden trip.

Er...

No current stock literbike is gonna hit 320kph, much less 300... Not the RR4, not the 04R1, Not the ZX10. Even a Haya is at the edge of its envelope at that speed.

Is the guy sure abt that report??

I know there was a certain news report about a "Honda 1000" hitting 205mph in the US. Everybody was speculating that it was a CBR 1000.

Turned out that the bike was an RC51 (VTR1000SP), and it was clocked by a stopwatch between 2 points on a road a quarter mile apart, from the air by a cop in a light aircraft.

Margin for error? Lots.

Cos 1/4 mile in 4.38secs is 205mph.

1/4 mile in 4 secs is 225mph (362kph)

1/4 mile in 5 secs is 180mph (290kph)

i agree with u.

Below are some maths... hehehe

[stock RR4]

Tire Circumference (Bridgestone Battlax BT014 in Inches) = 77.912

Rear Sprocket = 41

Front Sprocket = 16

Primary Drive = 1.604

Internal Gear Ratio (Gear 6) = 1.16

Final Drive

= Rear Sprocket / Front Sprocket

= 41 / 16

= 2.563

Overall Gear Ratio

= Primary Drive * Final Drive * Internal Gear Ratio

= 1.604 * 2.563 * 1.16

= 4.768

Top Speed of RR4 at Gear 6 RPM 11650

= (Tire Circumference / Overall Gear Ratio)*RPM*60*/63360*1.6

= (77.912 / 4.768)*11650*60/63360*1.6

= 288kmph

Tashi · October 13, 2004

Wow, some serious maths you're doing. *Hats off*

Looks like you can't go faster without changing anything.

Ken · October 13, 2004

288km/h.

Wah!

Your calculation so accurate man.

so far i have only tried to run top twice.

once, is a straight road, but i close throttle at 288km/h, but still can throttle on.

2nd time is going upslope at the bridge from 2nd link jb custom towards sg custom, the meter is also show 288km/h and this time although i hold on and throttle more (for maybe a sec or less), the speed didn't go up anymore.

It totally fits ur calculation!~

Cheers for u man.

but anyway, the next time i will be changing my chain to front 16 and rear 42/43. I will have lower top speed and better pickup n mid range.

but to 520 or 530 conversion... should be sticking with 530 conversion bah.

DeusExMachina · October 13, 2004

Just to note, his 288kph calculations is theoretical top speed. There're 2 more factors that will affect it.

Wind resistance. See if you can redline in top gear. Usually, it's quite hard for a bike to redline it. A bike may be geared to hit 288 or 300, but even in full tuck, it's hard to achieve it.

Speedo-error. Your 288 is usually not true 288, unless u got a Speedo Healer calibrated correctly. Most of the time where the meter reads 299 (cut off), your radar/GPS recorded speed might be in the region of 270+.

Yeah. That's why wanna change the spocket to 43r.

want top speed, busa or ZX12R bah.

think for every teeth up in the rear will decrease 6.+++km/h in top speed.

top speed... its been a long time since i did that.

Yo speedpass, after my exams we all go out leh.

think too long lah, this friday go 2nd link pump petrol guys?

Oh. Suspension setting.

Nvr mind. I had a friend help me. Going down one click on rear rebound damping. Should reduce the whipping sensation I'm getting.

See if it helps with the vague feeling in front too. If it doesn't then I'll go one click down on front rebound damping too.
