Hey i know that a Uly is no top speed bike by any means, but i cant every seem to push mine over 125. I definetly have no real need to. I was just wondering if that was normal or if neone had any simple tuning suggestions that might allow me to tap 135 or so[smirk] As if the head shake at 125 with saddlebags on wasn,t scary enough.

03 9s and my shake is 110-120 looking to a stablizer maby...ur crazy though for doin that on uly:p
I think the R's are lucky to get past 140 but buells arnt quite cabable of super death speeds..go borrow someones gxxr or something [up]

...but buells arnt quite cabable of super death speeds..go borrow someones gxxr or somethingSpeeds got nothing to do with it, it's just more fun on a Buell. You can get killed doing 40mph carving a hairpin - on a Gixxer, Ninja, Buell, or any bike.

But if you plan on spending a lot of time topping out the speedometer, best do like he said and look into a steering stabilizer. What year is your bike anyway Buelly?

I've had my 06 Uly at 135, It will do it. Just tuck and go.

My 9R is super stable at 130+. I've hit 140 indicated, who knows what the real speed was. Some say gps pegs at 138 and I'm cool with that.

Ya gotta love it... Nobody gave me crap about speeding:) I wish there were more buell riders in the world. I've gotta an 07 uly X with the "outdoorsman" top and side cases(i dont keep the top case on). Hey buellysses to u have side cases?? i always figured that was my high speed down fall...my wife tells me that i shouldn't need the three digit part of my speedo.

that fast, it's moslty wind resistance that will prevent you from reaching top speed. did you try it with the bags off?

And not just because it mechanically tops out at 134...

edit: I did my math wrong. Thought the redline was 7800.
