rpm at 85

What RPMs are you running at while cruising at 85mph?

I hardly never look down at my tach just cruising around but if you want accuracy... just do the math.

Is the math A squared plus B squared = RPMs?

I'm at 3500 with a shield.

rktmn3 · Nov 17, 2006

3500 RPM

LEE · Nov 18, 2006

I agree 3500 rpms....

sweatmachine · Nov 18, 2006

5500, but on the bonnie...

Ugarte · Nov 18, 2006

You guys getting 3500....is that with a corrected speedo?

Mine does 90 mph indicated at 3500 with the stock speedo, 4000 at 100 mph indicated.

Motorcycle Consumer News says 2500 RPM at an actual 65 MPH in 5th, which means every 1000 RPM in top is good for 26 MPH. 85 = 3269 RPM.

3500 rpm at 85 mph (speedo corrected).

About 3200 rpm at 85 mph indicated. 78 mph actual by GPS.

kevin, not trying to be rude, but why are you asking?

Just wondering about the vibration at 85mph, with the windscreen. Does she give you any wobble or blurry mirror views. Took out an 05 R3 a couple weeks ago at a dealer but could only muster 60mph on the 4 mile official road test around town.

No noticeable vibration at 85 (actual) with the full windscreen and lowers.

Certainly brings to mind the phrase, Seeing is Believing.

None whatsoever. Mine's as solid as a rock at that speed (and then some)
