I've had my stock 2008 Buell 1125r (Speedo readings) to 167. I've read about Buells, (and bikes in general) reading a faster speed than they're really going. People with GPS, probably get a more accurate reading than a bikes speedo.. I was probably going alot slower than what my speedo was reading. What was your Bike speedo reading at the end of the Texas Mile? or maybe you were keeping your eyes on the runway??

I got mine to show 175 on speedo also. I think Im gonna try the texasmile this next march 2011. I have the full eric buell racing package- full fiberglass fairings, ecm, k&n filter, etc.
@Wforey I like your take off. I got mine up to 165 on the highway. I think has about 1000 rpm to go. It's completely stock, but an air filter. I love the Buell.
i broke my speedo cable on the 89 zx1000 4 months ago i was using gps. can get anymore accurate than tomtom. and yes it was over more than a mile i am sure
Speedo's are notoriously inaccurate in older bikes. Digital is a lot better but no substitute for a radar trap measurement. You may have done 182 on that bike but I'm suspect, also did you do it in one mile or over many miles?
wow- 20 seconds till top speed, superbad. I like the runway thing also, tring to get clearance here local and run mines. Same bike, stock with D & D pipe. Ran 10.39 in 1/4 week ago, but never wide open , must be cool, can't wait to try.
HEY! I have the same bike. So, you basically top out? how fast was that? 166? I found out last night 5th gear tops out at 140... have not try to top out yet... not on the H.W.
I was on the revelimiter at the 3/4 mark I just raning out of gears I need to get a chain and sprock working on that for oct but working on more tuning from my sponsor at BDDFI-III .

At that speed does it run out of power or just gears out?
