I have my 9 geared down to reduce top speed by about 15 kph but it would pass a stock geared one on the E.C. straight (hey Dave) and top speed of a stocker is supposed to be about 275 - 280..
I'm just about at redline in 6 on the turn 1 entry...
oh yeah youre right, your bike passed me easily down the straight but then again, my fat bum does slow me down a fair bit, along with the mirrors and rest of the road gear...

i have only had my old 9 up to 265 at EC but i know i can give some bikes a run for their money..! it does have only 130hp... my 02 9r has 140 (before ram air) so i reckon i could top 280.. and maybe crack 1:47 without slicks...
sean - have absolutely no idea what my mate did to get his 10r up to that speed, thats before he puts on the power commander and akrapovic.. this is his 2nd 10r mind you, highsided the first one on cold tyres.. wouldnt tell me what the power output was on the first one either (as he had the same gear on that too)... he mentioned he had his suspension set up for the track and was looking for 1:42 at EC (hey madkaw

)
