Anyone had their R topped out with OEM gearing. Is it rev limited at 186mph (300km/h) or does the screen go blank and it keeps on pulling? A few at COTA claimed just over 200mph (322km/h) calculated with screen blank.

1199r
I had my R to 181 but too much wind and I wasn't moving any faster but my RPM was just slightly over 10k rmp.. So I know the bike will blank at 186 mph bc I still had the power to get there but to 200mph those bikes had the super stock kit.. That for sure will get u up there

Last time I did the Dragon was on my ZX10... I agree triple digits aint happening but you can go surprisingly fast..but THP get very upset...
1199R top speed
Ok, so what I'm seeing here is that 1) it isn't rev limited in 6th to 186mph; 2) the screen does go blank at this speed; 3) the bike under optimal conditions with the full Termi package installed will likely hit 200+ mph. That is very quick indeed.

I haven't been able to hit 300kph with either the S or the R. Most I've gotten was 295 or so but it's a slow process at 280+.
There are many reasons why I couldn't get there(traffic, road condition, etc.) but I blame mostly my suit. I wear Dainese Alien jacket and get a lot of drag through the back neck section. The problem gets worse when I zip the jacket to the pants, the jacket will puff like a sail. I'm 6'1" 220lb so I can't really tuck as well as the smaller guys. If I wear my one piece I might be able to get past 300kph but I don't like to wear it when I'm not at the track.
On the other hand my buddy that bought my S will consistently pass the 300kph "blank screen (lines instead of numbers)". He's 5'11" 170lb and rides with one piece suit.

Best I've done at Roebling was 174. I've seen someone faster than me get over 180 and he was not even pushing that hard.
I'm going to be at Roebling Road during that same weekend. I'm riding with US Desmo on Sunday and with Nate Kern on Monday.

Hayden mentioned the R he was riding at CotA blanked out and it kept pulling. So it will do more than 186 indicated....any math guys care to calculate the theoretical top speed?
