Street Triple Top Speed?

Hey Has Anyone Streched Their Striple To The Limit Yet? I Live In New Zealand And Have Taken Mine To 207kph. How Bout You Guys In The Uk? And You Guys In The U.s.? Be Cool To Hear From You, Cheers Street Tripper..

Well, I've only just managed to get from a 5 grand rev limit to a 6 grand limit, in the running in business, so I am jealous.

What's the story with the 207 kph? Was that it flat, or did you run out of road to play with? It surely wasn't hitting the rev-limiter, was it?

Given that 5,000 rpm seems to be very close to 100 kph, I'd have hoped for a top end a wee bit higher than 207.....

Must get it together to do the gearing spreadsheet.

My best so far is this, had to ease off as there was traffic in the way,a little more to go though.

Don't worry about the speed Colin, you need to get some miles on the beast!

Vince, she's got a few more on her now, i've got a trip booked for 1st week in june about 2500miles in 6 days to Switzerland and back going with 3 mates all on GSXR 750's so I think the little triple will be maxed out quite a bit

That sounds great! I would love to do something like that!

I've got 2300 on the clock now, and a top speed logged at 141MPH Not doing that speed again though, gets pretty light at the front, and its cold

I'm on 150MPH now, unused runway.

It's naughty though, but not naughty enough to hit the limiter
