Rev limiter vs top speed limiter

looks like the bike was strapped to a dyno......some have removed the nanny controls.......but in the real world(on road) there would be a lot more vibration

how about top speed, how much speed wind resistance can cut on top speed on 305kmph on dyno vs real road?

There's a bunch of math involved that requires the coefficient of drag and frontal area. A first generation Hayabusa with a prone rider would theoretically require 157hp to the rear wheel to hit 300km/h (they put down 165ish is stock form). A stock rocket is much bigger and much less slippery - it'll never hit 300. A speed 250km/h on the Hayabusa would only require 90hp.

I've gone over 300 on my zx14r. At that speed, if I were to sit up, I'd be unable to stay on the bike.

I believe the new Rockets can go faster than the 147 mph if the speed limiter is adjusted or removed but it might not be safe to go to fast.

I forget what the tires are rated for on these new Rockets does anyone know?
