Re: Top Speed questions
165mph for me the 3rd day I had my bike WO on 64 coming back from Williamsburg
BTW because of the gyroscopic forces of the wheels the bike should be very stable at that kind of speed unless you have bad tires/balance on tires/misalignment of frame or fork/or your bike is haunted

off the showroom floor the 998 base model topped around 160, the Ducai Corse factory racer 998R F02 had a top speed of right at 180, if i remember yours was pretty modded, but i still can't see it getting much higher than mid to high 160's flat out

. I honestly doubt it puts out enough power to even pull gearing that long.

HAHAHA, I have 2 996s Duccati with 1026 big bore its with a lot of Corse internals. This was also done on high gearing not track gearing. I know what my bikes do, radar proven!
