That's probably close, since I've calcualted that it's geared to go 180 mph at rev-limit in 6th gear.Ara said:Motorcyclismo claims 181 as the TS for the 1098.
That's all I've heard.
Trust me on this one: it will never hit the rev limiter in 6th with stock gearing and that kind of poor aerodynamics.[email protected]* said:That's probably close, since I've calcualted that it's geared to go 180 mph at rev-limit in 6th gear.

Was that an actual test measurement, or just an estimate of some kind?Ara said:Motorcyclismo claims 181 as the TS for the 1098.

Man , with all respect but wait untill posting this untill you have actually ridden a 1098.[email protected]* said:Yo Peet,
We've had this discussion on the other board too. I still think the 1098 will hit rev-limiter in 6th gear since it has plenty of HP, and the aeros aren't bad if you can tuck well. The aeros (CdA) of the bike are probably pretty good ... so yes, the rider's tuck will be the biggest factor.
We need a jockey to do the test with GPS.![]()
LOL ... I said "if you can tuck well". :ahhh:Peet said:Man , with all respect but wait untill posting this untill you have actually ridden a 1098.
I am 5'6 and even for me there is no place to "tuck well".
Peet is right. I calculated that the 1098 with stock gearing can only go 180 mph +/- a few mph at redline in 6th gear. That is actual speed ... not indicated on the speedo, which will most certainly read high.Peet said:That isn't even possible with the stock gearing. [email protected] made the calculations.
... or more HP.Peet said:Guys, to actually hit 300 (on a GPS) you need good aerodynamics...
My program for calculating is on my other computer, so I will look at it tomorrow.Zoeperman said:@[email protected]: ould you calculate how the gearing should be to go over 300??
