Top speed on your Touring?

[vanguard138]

Only have had mine up to 110 on a stretch of road near my home and had to backoff for lack of road. Was still climbing. It has been retuned with Tune ecu.

I can't take my 2009 past about 85 or 90 mph...anybody go faster on an R3T?
Again, just to be clear, this question is for Touring models, not Roadsters, Tourers or Standards.

If you go over 90 mph, please lsit your tire combination, and method of balancing: lead weights, Dyna Beads, or other.

Thanks,
CW

I've had my stock '09 R3T to an indicated 120 several times....fresh, stock Michelins, good brakes, new shorts....(before AND after.....)

A few years back at one of the RAA meets at Maggie Valley on of the captains had a wee accident on his R3T he went off the road not in a curve but on a straight part of the road, anyhoo he was to shaken up to ride the bike back so we piled him into the support vehicle then me and steve Cowherd went back to get his bike, after spinning the rooster around so I was sitting on its face and making sure that the ants were sleeping I took off for the motel, now I had that bike hitting the 120 mark quite a few times in fact I was back at the motel five minutes before I left.

Hello.

Mine had a Dyno tuning: limited at 225 km per hour.
D&D Exhausts, triple KN Filters, secundaries removed.

My 2008 has seen 115on teh speedo before the blows to my back made me slow down. I gues I wasted money buying her the backrest.

IDK about wind resistance, but redline in 5th gear would be 238 mph, now.

I had it well over 120, it started a weird slow weave, if I tried it again, I'd do it without that huge windshield, my guess is that was the culprit.

Oh, and Lester, the R3T does not have a tach.

Mine does!!! And a water temp gauge, too!

I've had my 08 up to an indicated 120 (short shield); Avon Cobras and lead weights. Quite a thrill!

 

[R3T-Too]

I've had mine at 115 (indicated with the Tripp Tune speedo correction).
She was still pulling strong and felt as stable as can be.

I think anyone who has applied the Power-tripp derestricting tune will have an easier time going super-illegally-fast. The stock R3T stops revving at 4k. Oh ok, so it revs, but it's really really unhappy about it and thinking about filing a strongly worded letter in triplicate to the pilot to stop revving... Derestricted it has pretty much all the power of the R3R and revs eagerly to 6k. That has to help a lot if you're going for top speed.

I would like to know more about how to get a tach and water temp gauge like you have.
