had some fun lastnight

[sledhead007]

2am, open highways.......... really got to see what my xb12r can do :)

[oh9bolt]

Sweet!

[sledhead007]

yes it was. but more of a once in a lifetime deal.

[dave_xb12r]

Out here in CA, we have a "highway" that goes into the middle of nowhere. HW25. It has several 3 mile long stretches of wide open road. I've held my xb12r right under redline for over a minute. Scary!

[sledhead007]

yeah i had mine at 144mph for a few seconds but i live in texas. lots a deer so i backed off pertty fast. i was on a 12 mile stretch with a few slight fun curves

[dave_xb12r]

Yeah, that would be scary. Hitting a deer at that speed. Imagine how far you would fly!

[sledhead007]

i was actuelly thinking about that, im pretty sure you would have enough time to put your head between your legs and kiss your a$$ goodbye

[misternikko]

^HAHAHAHAHA!!

[sledhead007]

what a nice thought to have doing 130+ right?

[Kid1620]

I love topping out my 9t speedo says 138 with the revs bouncing. It's so much fun to just hold it wide open as long as possible.

[Thaloc]

I have topped my 12R out more times than I can count, on a closed course of course :p. Held it WFO for more than a few minutes.

Smoothest 140 +/- I have ever felt on a bike. Never a wobble, headshake, or scary moment for me.

[sledhead007]

thats because its a can-am engine!!!

[uly luigi]

Nope, Sportster motor in the 12R, Rotax in the 1125's

[freak2180]

thats because its a can-am engine!!!

Someone needs to hit the books a lil harder.......Unless you know of a secret bike that someone has been hiding from us.

Ive had my 12R up to 140ish with my lard ass flapping in the breeze.......it was a down hill slope for about 2 miles.:D I dont plan on hitting that speed again.........well not with out a STRONG tail wind pushing me.

[sledhead007]

sorry didnt see they said 12r i thought they put 1125 haha

[anrkizm95]

hitting a deer is better at 140 than 70 you tend to slice right through them.:D

[sledhead007]

not like a hot knife through butter.

[anrkizm95]

almost like butter (http://www.bofunk.com/video/3687/deer_meets_bike.html)

[sledhead007]

hahaha i wouldnt want to find out

[squidbuellie]

didn't see any dicing but sure saw alot of crap come off his bike. close to the same thing happened when a wild turkey decide to run up under my old gixer the bottom fairing, front fender and radiator cover exploded with a ball of feathers.

on a side note its kinda funny. i tell people all the time that i don't know how fast my buell is and maybe once i got it over 100mph but on my old gixxer shot 140-150 that was just any other day like, tuesday.

[anrkizm95]

most of that was deer legs

[Evolutionz]

I take my bike over this one bridge and tack her right about 140-ish. Ive had one speed wobble try to say hi.

not fond of triple digit speed wobbles. no bueno.

xb12R- race ecm.

[sledhead007]

[crxtasy169]
