It was on a rear stand
I've gotten to 120+ before and it was still pulling strong on my XB12 but haven't pushed it to its full capabilities. I wonder if anyone who has tracked it has any input on how fast it went in straights.
I've done 135-140 for a couple miles there was nothing left
+1 on what's above. Nothing left once you hit that speed. I was WOT and there was just nothing left.
I've hit 135 and she seemed to have some more when I let off but it wasn't like no load or drag in the video. The other vids on the YouTube Chanel had the bike on the stands wile running. I'm assuming the video was taken the same way considering how smooth the video was and that it accelerated to rev limit like it had 50 extra HP.
Yeah the only reason I did that video was to show what it could get up to at rev limit.
That's what I figured. Now for the 50 extra HP, $$$, where to begin?
140 indicated yesterday on the 07 XB12r. Definitely recommend an upgraded windscreen. 140 with sport touring screen felt more comfortable than 120 with stock screen.
I've noticed that the speedo is a few mph faster than actual speed... At least according to the radar trailers parked along the street. 60 mph on speedo was roughly 55mph on the trailer.
