180 limit only???

the limit that the manufacturers have agreed on is 186mph.
I bet above 170 it sort of stops making a difference. LoL. I start to lift off the seat at 130 on mine.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

hmmm... i did 143mph and i wasn't lifting on my seat. i guess it's just the ergos.

but the other time, i did 135mph but the freeway was bumpy, so i stopped speeding since i was bouncing a lot and got worried.

No, it's the fairing... which my naked doesn't have.

i see... the other guy at the MSF said he did 130mph on his ZX-6R and he was lifting on his seat.

i guess he was doing something wrong.

Helmet too tight

#35 Unread post by M109R »

Maybe it was his helmet. No aerodynamic and with a tight chin strap lifted his o-ring off the seat.

When I was on my RMK800 going 110mph in the snow, my snowcross helmet would try to lift off my head due to the poor aerodynamics..sucked when having such a good time....
