OOOOOOO-KNOW here we go again,:stirpot: The only true way to see how fast an 1800 will go is for you yourselve go find a safe spot and do it. People on here, that we all like seem to strrrrrrrrench the truth.Just how fast can the 1800 go
The rev limiter that people hit in the lower gears is not the same as the speed limiter...I'm sure THERES people on here that have hit the electronic limiter in second gear before, wth 3 more gears left..![]()
Sounds about right....The speedometers on these bikes are all off by a different percentage up to 10%...I remember reading that the 1800 limit is 135, so your 130mph is right in the ballpark...:cheers:The speed limiter on my '02 1800 S cuts out at 130 mph. Done it three times.
My bad BASS let me rewrite thatThe rev limiter that people hit in the lower gears is not the same as the speed limiter
So you think an 1800 will do 135 mph in 2nd gear?!?!...While I'll agree they're badass bikes, I don't know about 135 in 2nd gear badass!!...LOL!!...My bad BASS let me rewrite that
I'm sure THERES people on here that have hit the SPEED LIMITER in second gear before, wth 3 more gears left..![]()
They won't hit that in 2nd gear, the rev limiter will kick in way, way before that. (I know because when I first got it, it pulled so fast I hit the rev limiter in 1st and 2nd a few times and there is no way I was anywhere near 130miles)My bad BASS let me rewrite that
I'm sure THERES people on here that have hit the SPEED LIMITER in second gear before, wth 3 more gears left..![]()
Mine can see over 120 pretty easy, 110 is nothing, just ask the HD's i passOOOOOOO-KNOW here we go again,:stirpot: The only true way to see how fast an 1800 will go is for you yourselve go find a safe spot and do it. People on here, that we all like seem to strrrrrrrrench the truth.I'm sure THERES people on here that have hit the electronic limiter in second gear before, wth 3 more gears left, lol I know for a fact my 1300, I've had it at almost 115 on the speedo.:mosh: so that might be about 110 ish because my speedo is off about 5 mph. So I could imagine that the 1800 will do 120-125 or maybe a bit more if you swap out the rear end to the 1300 rear end. peoples answers on here may not be all true but they are all amusing
.
:choppersmBUT ONE THING THAT WE VTX OWNERS CAN ALL AGREE ON IS........ HONDA SHOULD HAVE PUT A 6TH GEAR IN THERE. I'M ALWAYS LOOKING FOR ANOTHER GEAR.LMAO
