Top Speed?

[Tripps]

And by a racetrack, Mel means any straight section of public road

I thought that's what the straight parts were for?

There were rev and speed limiters on the old Rockets. For the new liquid cooled Thruxton R, TuneECU shows a rev limit but no speed limit. I take it people have hit the rev limit at 6500?

I expect both in the R3 - with only a rev limiter the R3 would run 300 km/h in the highest gear at max rev...

Loud mouth. Needs to have great visibility.

I thought he meant the RaceTrac fuel stops that are in he South.

It may be "aerodynamically limited" to a top speed.

You do not know my belly - it's highly aerodynamical...

No, what I wanted to state was that the limiter must use both ways, because otherwise (with only a rev limiter) you would easily pass the 222 km/h where it is placed right now, because - when I remember well - the new R3 has about 4.000 rpm in 6th gear when touching that speed...

At 140 lots of headshake from wind had to roll off, it felt like there was more though, I also have a TFC

Based on that, the bike will cruise at 2300rpm at 80mph/129kph, and have a speed of 224mph/361kph at 6500rpm in 6th?

You need to change your name to qweesy687

Allow me to check this on the weekend - I actually have to take one of my other bikes to the dealer for check up so the TFC is actually sleeping in the external garage...

Good man, you're gonna be the first to top speed a 2020 R3

Before you die though, can you find out precisely the rpm at exactly 80mph please
