This I think would be more of a tech question than anything else. What is or should be the top speed of a stock Katana, and what would you imagine the top speed of a geared Katana? 14/47 to be exact.

I had a friend follow me on his bike to get a good idea on how fast I was going since I don't have a speedo. He said we got up to 131mph, but then he got bored and blew past me. Gotta love the torque of a V-twin. I had heard someone say the top speed of a Kat should be about 135ish. Was wondering if that was true.Dude, if I could swim, I'd be a Pirate.

Well, as most of you know my wind resistance is, well......... not really there, lol. I was tucked right to the tank and on it as hard as I could. The stock gearing on the bike stock would not allow me to get the bike that fast, but the new gearing helps out a lotDude, if I could swim, I'd be a Pirate.

bah.....slowpokes. I can do 150 sitting straight up with the wind in my face.
Q: your speedos run of the front sprocket?? I always thought it was off the front wheel like the 1100's.I don't have a short temper. I just have a quick reaction to bullshit.
