I thought the thread about bike speed got pretty interesting with theories and claims of what a bike is or is not capable off. So I decided to start a thread where you could tell your top speed, and please include how you measured it and what bike/mods.
2003 KDX220
Stock, 13/47 gearing
Garmin GPS - 71.9 mph
Same bike
Fredette porting, head mod, bored carb
Boyseen reeds
FMF rev pipe & Turbine Core II silencer
13/49 gearing
Garmin GPS - 81.3 mph
Both runs were on paved roads (dual sported bike). Stock run was up a very slightly uphill section, I'm sure it could do a solid 72 mph on flat :nener:. With the mods and 13/49 gearing it ran out of revs very quickly in 6th, I could have used a few more gears in the transmission. :laugh:
Now I run 12/49 and probably max out at 75mph or there-abouts, so that's where my vote lies in the poll.
