Top Speed?
Being as bored as I am at work, and in the interest in general stupidity....
...how fast have you ever gone in your svx? (or how fast have you ever been in a car?)

I believe the speedometer is quite inacurate at high speeds as I have had my spedometer reading ~152. It is my understanding that the 95's are limited to 143.

I think we already did this thread a month or two ago. Search the archives and you'll find a long thread on the same exact topic

Fastest in a car Formula Firebird 144MPH
Fastest in a SVX 107MPH (not as into the top speed as I used to be) Fastest on a bike 137MPH on Super Magna (a lot tougher on a crusier with no windshield than on a sport bike )

VFR Thou
Quote:
The guy who did my bearing and cam belt recently has one. Real neat. Hardly a mark on it, except for a few spots of drool. He loves it, keeps it pristine. I only got to 145 on my VFR 750. Did 130 in the R5 Turbo. Incidentally, I always used fully synthetic with the turbo. The turbocharger heat killed the oil very quickly. I found if you wanted to do high speed runs, you could lose as much as 5 mph with fresh oil. The new oil was more viscous. However, it thinned out a lot after 4-5 thousand miles. Naturally, if you kept thrashing it with worn out oil you run the risk of bearing damage or worse. But 5 mph is not to be sneezed at Joe
