Yea way to lead fool! Had to keep the slow crew in check

CBR600F4

My bike's top speed (dyno proven) is 168mph; my speedo was reading 180mph. It won't reach that speed on the street with wind resistance and my body weight added to it.

Fastest I've seen my speedo read is 165mph. So prolly doing 155-158 true speed.

Dampers won't make a difference at high speeds.....................UNLESS: you are holding the bars too tight, you hit a bump and the energy gets transferred back into the forks/wheel because you didn't let the bike correct itself 'cause you were holding on too tight.

A good rule of thumb is to actually lessen your grip on the clip ons at higher speeds. The whole purpose to a damper is to absorb that energy for you and stop tank slappers from happening. I've had one happen to me at about 120......not fun lemme tell ya.

Wonder what your true topspeed would be? 150ish?

zx12guy

Actually I'd be more worried on the zuk.
