How fast is she??

[ricky]

My wee monnie (m620ie) is causing quite a stir amongst all my mates with bike. questions are comin thick and fast, HOW MUCH
WHERE YOU GET HER
WHY SHE SO SMALL
HOW FAST IS SHE?
ok 1st 3 questions no prob just tell them to feck off and mind there own business but the 4th i cant answer with a top end figure YET, Shes brand new so ive never bin over the ton and wont be for a while!! So can i please get some realistic top end figures to stop me from trying b4 she's ready!!!
Obviously i understand that all figures given were done on a private airfield or race track (aye right!!)



oh and you'll have to excuse me callin my wee baby 'she and her' I treat her like i would any special woman, take good care of her but throw my leg over as much as i can!!!:mand:

[Melnie Mouse]

I think your avatar is the best mate, Wicked.. bout time we had something like that rather than rude piccies of half naked women! :) rock on!

[JMo]

You'll probably find a standard 620 will reach around 115-120mph, eventually... (the official figure these days is 120mph I believe, but I imagine that was done on a test rig rather than on the road with wind resistance/drag etc. to take into account).

The later bikes have a six speed gearbox, so theoretically that sort of speed is attainable, but not necessaritly sustainable - as even my 5 speed 620 hit 120mph once (in favourable conditions) at around 8,500rpm - so still had a bit more to go, but it wouldn't pull it...

You'll find the bike is quick up to about 105/110mph - it's the last bit that takes forever, and to be honest isn't really worth it - and of course hanging onto a naked bike at that speed for any length of time is a pain too...

Look at it this way, you ought to have a clean licence for a lot longer than if you'd bought an R6 for example...

When I did dare look at the spedo, I think mine was reading about 115MPH flat out.

[CK & AK]

Top speed 130 in std trim for an 05 bike.

With tuning for the track - a tad more.........

HTIOH

Alan

ps: Blufoot was clocked by 3 of us at 130 in 2003 by 3 of us - all showing the same speed - he was 2 up at the time too, obviously this was not on the public highway! ;)

[Blufoot]

maybe i'm just an urban myth?

hello all

[CK & AK]

maybe i'm just an urban myth?

hello all

[Blufoot]

wont need to tell her, havent seen her since last Sept................

[Blufoot]

oh, ok then...

Nah, some nob pulled out on me like on that advert, i nearly managed to avoid him, but came off trying...

Wound (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v132/ukhh.com/BluWound2.jpg)

Stitched Up (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v132/ukhh.com/BluWoundStitched.jpg)

Dead Viffer (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v132/ukhh.com/mashedvfr.jpg)

I'm lookin for an NC30 now to replace it.. or maybe an RVF??

[JMo]

Ugh - sorry to hear about the viffer/car interface Blu, even more upset to see an actual picture of your gash (bet the exiles wished they were still on the MOC to follow that comment eh?)...

Hope you feel better soon... and go on, get another Monny - you know you wanna...

xxx

[CK & AK]

thats not dead - drop it off with AK for a couple of weeks........

will take it off your hands for you if you like?

[Blufoot]

I know what youre sayin, its not dead dead dead BUT what you cant really see is that the suspension has snapped the thing it bolts on to onder like the seatish region and the back wheel has a huge buckle in it, and thats not the usual single sider swingarm, its the early 'car type' four bolt wheel....

I'm sure that Al could do it but whether or not its worth it is another matter, coz when i first looked at it i thought 'cool, its hardly damaged' but the more you look the more you see.

I'll consider the offer though, we'll have to do a deal for that and virtually a whole NC21 that ive got left over from the engine swap...

Cheers for the comments Jen, it wasnt actually that painful, the gash was the last injurie i noticed! I tell you what hurt more than that though - when i put the screwdriver through my hand 4 days after! when they tried to fix that at the hospital it REALLY hurt..

Hopefully i'll see you lot soon either on the thundercat (yes it does still exist, no it hasnt been mended yet) or on a new NC35 (fingers crossed)

[tommo]

i have a mate who is selling his very clean rvf400 if you are interested?

[Blufoot]

have you got a link to an ad with a piccy?

(tbh i'm a bottom feeder, i'm hoping to be able to stretch to £1300 if the insurance does my way, so if its way more theres no point)

[tommo]

i think he's looking for About £2800, so not to worry.
hope your'e out and about again soon.
