top speeds? - Yamaha FZ6R Forums - International FZ6R / XJ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

yamaman · 06-20-2010, 09:51 PM

Just curious to know if anyone has posted top speeds over 200km/hr. I hit 186 and i'm not to sure if there is anything left in the throttle.

Don't tell my mom

Took me 30 seconds with the SEARCH feature.

I've seen 208 on the speedo, but don't really know how accurate it is. I suppose I can assume I have seen 200km/h for sure in actual speed. Is your 186 on radar, or speedo?

i seen 210, still had some left to go yet, one day i might get brave and wind it right out

not crazy enough to try it... if I wanted speeds that high I wouldn't have chosen this bike. Guess I am getting old, but I prefer to enjoy my ride and not worry who is going to pay for my funeral...

Smartest thing I've ever read in a forum about speed.

Well put, sir.

to each there own, everyone has their own risk vs reward and own priorities, conditions are different for everyone, for me a 9 mile perfectly straight road with no vehicles in sight, yeah i am gonna wind it up at least once or twice in the life of the bike just to see what it will do.I firmly believe in racing on the track not the street, only issue hard to find spots other than drag strips that will let bikes even race.It is not something i would do on a daily basis, but it will happen.

I have to agree with scoobienorth here. Everyone has their own deal, and everyone has their own definition of reckless. My Father thinks we're all reckless just for getting on a bike. Some folks think recklessness kicks in at 100mph. Some think a capable rider should be allowed to do whatever they please. Who is more right? Nobody, that's who. Ride safe, and ride for yourself. Don't think you have to ride as slow or as fast as someone else thinks you should. Know your limits, and do what you have to do to get what you want out of riding, and if you push too hard, you've only yourself to blame for the consequences.

Oh - dude, totally. To say I haven't wound it out would be a lie. However, not everyone puts the thought and care into the 'where' that perhaps they should.

That's all. I mean, obviously the number one attraction to a bike is speed... well, top 3 anyway, depending on who you're talking to.
