Hi, I had a discussion with a friend about the top speed of the bike. Has anybody reached
the bikes full potential??? Thanks

Which one? 750,906 or 907

For the 750... Fastest I ever hit was 130 on a flat stretch. My friend said he pushed 130 out of the bike on a down hill slop in Canada when he first bought the bike. That's just the 750 though

Duc speedometers are very, very optomistic in their readings!! You gotta have a GPS on board to really measure.

Sprocket sizes?

When an Italian magazine made the test, the Paso reached 204 km/h = 126,6 mph.

I generally get an indicated 115 mph. Haven't had a long straight to see if I get much higher.

Cheers,

my 906 (pretty standard except exhausts)is struggling to do much more than 205 km/h

Have not had the chance to GPS my 906 but saw almost 140 on the clock and still had a bit left,have no idea what actual speed may have been. I suspect the 907 might have a little more on the top end than the 906

Didn`t Antti mean
different gearing = different top speed?

I mean just gearing, as Gert stated, sorry. It is important to know, what sprockets guys use if they test top speed. Anyway only accurate system is GPS with top speed hold.... :thumbup:
