How fast will your bike go...

It used an Acewell 3200 which picks up off the wheel so sprockets don't change anything. It was calibrated with a GPS as are all MCXpress projects.

One of those projects was a Salt flat bike with a [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]record 238.580 MPH[/FONT].

The other was a 1999 wheelie record at 323.89 KPH (Guinness world record) on a Turbo CBR 1100. Guess who was riding it? :)

Sometimes what you see on the internet is just what it appears to be.

And for the OP's question my old R1 would show 160 in first. Why do you ask?
 
I must say my little ninja may have hit about 170+ in 2nd when I first took it out. very surprising and exhilarating as I was literally hanging on. I haven't had it out of the city and only hit 3rd gear once by accident.
 
About 25km/h in first.

I've hit 3rd gear following someone once. When I looked down, I rolled off the throttle lol
 
384kph at redline top of 2nd gear on the 400. After rush hour I coarse.
Ran out of road to get into any other gears but I'm estimating around the 900-1000kph area.
I have a k&n air filter so it makes my whip super fast. Oh and some stickers too.

Some liter bikes do about 170 in first.....my last gsxr1000 did 167 at the limiter.
They have close ratio transmissions so the i creases in subsequent gears isnt as much as one would think

Plus they're geared not for 0-100 acceleration but 100-250 which is more useful on the track. They're already so fast at 0-100 that smaller gears would make it more difficult to control smooth acceleration anyway.

One thing that confuses me is people who talk about barely getting out of first and second in the city. Some are being funny but others are serious. I've ridden an S1000RR and it's got so much torque that you can cruise along in fourth at 60 km/hr, save gas, and still have pull. Defeats the purpose of buying that bike but for brief city cruising it makes sense.
 
95-100 in 1st.
 
Much slower than my boot, if I catch someone doing that with my bike.
 
Just made a run to the store to test it out. 35 in 1st, 11.5k Red line (can go to 12 but don't want to strain it).

Edit: I should have mentioned Indicated. Probably closer to 25.
