14r in VEGAS
05/11/12 8:05 AM

Hi guys,
Any new 14r's in vegas? I've got a 680 pound cruiser that I would like to see how it does in a drag race from 30-130 mph. I know the new 14r is the quickest and fastest mother bike, but I just want to see by how much.
pls email me

vmaxtom@yahoo.com

thanks and all ride safe,

tom

Why not run 0-160?

If you weren't there for my struggles, don't expect to be here for my success.

Top speed is limited to 138 mph, so 30-140 sounds good!

anyone willing?

@vmaxtom: is the 138 limit dictated by the ECU or the final drive?

138!!!Thats a real shame.I don't do much over 140 very much but sometimes 160.It would be nice to have a choice.When I bought my 09 Monster it was between it or an 09 B-King.It was close.But the B-King was real ugly and it was limited to 160.Then my wife said I like the green stripes on this one.She buys this can of Monster Energy.I wasn't even looking at it.I said the wife likes it the Monster it is.Didn't even look at the Busa.They had to move a Busa so I could sit on the Monster.

138 is limited by the ECU. I am going to have the ecu reflashed so it can 170! Anyways, any 14r's in vegas?

I'm not so sure you'd WANT to run your Vmax at 170LOL!I hear they're not that great at cornering .I've never read where the testers actually maxed one out and tried to corner with it.Might be limited for that very reason?

They are supposed to be quite strong on the launches and stuff....but running a 14R?....you're gonna be embarrassed methinks.
