August 8, 200718 yr Dude i never thought that is 1200CC,uaau!Take it easy and COSSU,man there is sad story's about everithing's got an engine and safety on bikes depends how much(crazy)you like your ride just trust me that i didn't met a car that can stop from 140Miles faster than i can stop a CBR or a Ninja.cheers
August 9, 200718 yr 135???pssh, I have had mine(lil' 600cc) to 140 and there was some more room. Personally I don't like the Buell's stubby rear end, if I was to get a twin I would either get a Honda RC51(those things sound insane, just google for videos) or a 2007 and newer Ducati's. Just respect it's power and remember to ride like no one can see you, always wear a helmet and I recommend some good pants and a leather jacket.
August 9, 200718 yr Author no, I know it could go much faster then 135. Like I said though, that is the speed the restricter kicked in so it knocked me down to 128 or so....I was not happy. I need to get the race ecm to have it go faster.
August 9, 200718 yr I have a Yamaha R6 for sale read the thread LOL had to throw that in there! Be safe and I used to do all kinds of stunts and stuff but now looking back it was stupid. lets just say I almost hit the side of a chevy worktruck at 141 mph but luckily missed by about 12 inches. They are dangerous true but doing stupid dangerous things on them adds about a 200 percent chance of crashing!
August 9, 200718 yr Well, like a good friend of my dad's always says: There are two kinds of people who ride motorcycles. Those who have dumped their bikes and those who will dump their bikes. Just hope that you do it when you're stopped in a parking lot somewhere instead of trying to show off by sitting on your headlight going 110 miles an hour eating a kit kat playing a kazoo waving to oncoming traffic listening to your ipod and not wearing a helmet. A little bit of restraint and the purchase of decent saftey equipment goes a long way.
August 9, 200718 yr Man I love that metallic orange on black color scheme, pretty wicked. Looks good Phrogg! Be safe bud! And isn't there some way to take the governor (or restrictor, whatever you want to call it) out of it?
August 9, 200718 yr Man I love that metallic orange on black color scheme, pretty wicked. Looks good Phrogg! Be safe bud! And isn't there some way to take the governor (or restrictor, whatever you want to call it) out of it? On most fuel injection vehicles(cars and bikes alike) the limiter is built into the ECM, and the only way to disable it is by either replacing the ECM or "flashing" (reprograming) it.
August 9, 200718 yr Author Yea, the race ecm might allow me to do that. Although I prolly won't. I dont need to be going that fast, like others have stated. It is just an incrediable feeling though, and I can see why it can be addicting.
August 9, 200718 yr It freaked me out when I hit 140...It was around 12am and I was with a bunch of guys in my car club(there was me and two other bikes). It was pitch black so it was kinda hard to judge speed, and at 140 the bike feels incredibly light.
August 9, 200718 yr Gorgeous bike.. that the 12 or 9? Sounds awsome with a race can on... Few people i know had problems with the headstock weld cracking on it though... would watch.
August 9, 200718 yr 4 GOSh sakes wear a HELMET I know 2 dead friends from cycle crashes and a 3rd in a wheel chair lost spine nerves below waist for life.
August 9, 200718 yr Is that you on the bike or the guy you bought it from? Looks nice, the wife says I can get one if I really want. Ducatti Monster ftw!
August 10, 200718 yr Author Yea, that is me on the bike.......You should get a bike! They are a good good time!
