@naci I am probably using the same bike as yours... and I was able to see 133kmh on bike only once in blue moon...

but please keep in mind my Odo meter always showed me speed of 135kmh, 140kmh, and some timmes 158kmh on 6th gear redline...

I released very soon it wasnt really 158kmh after all... as I have Suzuki-GS500 as well so I was well aware of 158~160kmh speeds...

so I did a GPS check and when showing 154kmh it was actually doing only 133kmh that day... so I can roughly and easily prdict that when I saw 158kmh on odo i was hardly doing a 135kmh or some where around it..

Bike needs a neat and paved road with no changes in altitude and quite a bit more then couple of kilometers to actually go red line in 6th gear .. rememebr you only have 24horses and you are pushing a vrey heavily loaded and a big eind signature bike on road...

same engine in a trail bike and it would take off like an f-16 ( referring to Kayo-6)

Same engine in RC3 and the claimed speed it above 140kmh.

Yes i have side and top cases, but orhers also do.

My bike fuel injected, as others.

Gears, other than the sixth, can reach and surpass 9000 rpm.

My friend has the same bike, he has a weight over 120 kilos, at least 15 kilos more than me. He saw 135 km speed on the clock of his bike. Also, i watch many youtube videos on internet, in which RX3 bikes exceeded over the speed of 130 km per hr on the clock.

Perhaps the only difference between mine and my friend (and probably other) bikes is that i changed my rear tire with metzeller tourance, size of which is 130-80/17 (orginal tire 130-70/17). This gives me a 5 km per hr more speed on the clock at the same rpm.

The only thing i consider for this situation is that when my bike was new, i never exceded 6000 rpm on either gear. Do you think this may be the couse of this.

Thanks.
