Well on the motorway my 400 tops out about 120mph, but I think the drag caused by me has something to do with that :cry: lol

I've had my 400 to 145mph, totally flat out...6th gear and 14000rpm. Its most comfortable between 80 and 110.

I clocked a vfr400r doing 147 on a flat as read from the clocks of the Gixxer 750 I was following him on - at that speed a set of modern gixer clocks arent gonna be more than a couple of mph out so you can presume he was doing a genuine 145.

chin on tank everything tucked in, knees ankles elbows, 10 and a half stone bloke on board.

Also it was tuned, running an expensive HRC carb block and full race system. It also had a tendancy to blow oil seals and crap fuelling under 8K made it pain to ride around town.

A stock or slightly modded VFR will struggle like hell to get above a genuine 135.

Sad thing is i can insure a new 1200 bandit fully comp for 800ish with only 1 years no claims discoun,t only benefit of being an old git. Well that and i can afford a new bandit. Going for the 600 hornet myself to start anyway. 8)
