Top speed on a 01 R6

8764 Views 30 Replies 16 Participants Last post by  ledwithkel
What would be the top speed on an 01 R6 bone stock? How about with 15 tooth front sprocket. The reason I ask is because some assclown is trying to tell me that his 01 R6 will go 180mph. I had to raise the BS flag on this one. I estimated that an R6 will go about 155 for a top speed. Any input from you R6 owners. :help:

Hmmmm.. I race and I still have fun doing top speed runs. Maybe I need to race for another 15 years to feel the same way you do. :waytogo: Its always fun to see just how fast your bike that you spent all that hard earned money on will really go. :grin:
im not saying tapping your bike out isnt fun. i done it plenty of times, all im saying is the track is a diffrent world and if u need somthing new other than the street get on the track. and im only 22 yrs old /wwwthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I don't race, yet. Business has been the priority for the better part of the last 2 years. I'll probably get my WERA license this year at some point. And I'll probably be down at Jennings in December, so I look forward to getting on the track with.

As of now I'm just limited to short weekend trips to BeaveRun, VIR, Summit Point, Mid Ohio, and probably make it to Barber in Oct.
i havent been to barber tet but heard wonderful things, if u havent been to jennings your in for a treat, its a very tech track, last time i whent opie chaler was ther i followed him around a little, i couldnt realy keep up. i doint know how to spell his name /wwwthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

On a similar note I was at the dealer yesterday and there was a kid well maybe a little older, he looked about 22 (j/k) :grin:, well anyway, he was going around looking at the bikes speedo's (analog) saying "wow this one goes 180". He was looking at a FZ1. I said do you know that, he said "cause that's what the speedo's highest reading is. /wwwthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Oh dear!!!!!!!! I hope he doesn't get the loan for a bike :help:

I can see the insurance raising :bawling:

alright funny guys bash on the youn one. :bird: :bow: :waytogo:
i got my first bike at 18 so i have some years under me. "to be old and wise, u must first be youn a stupid"
I hit 168 on mine and I know it can't go that fast. So I took my Garmin (GPS) along one time and it indicated 155 and I was at redline reading 168...so don't always believe your speedo when at high speeds. I can't believe some people think just because it reads up to "190" it will do it. Maybe the kid will believe you now.
Does anyone have a link that I can email assclown to prove that his R6 will not go 180mph.
I done 176 on my 00 R6. but I bought it in the UK from a guy who worked for Mclaren and I'm pretty sure he had it chipped and a 3 stage map, but to awnser your question assclown is right an R6 can pull off and has bee. known to be able to get 188 max with mods.....
