top speed.

I reached 129 mph indicated on my Garmin GPS today. The speedo read a bit higher. The bike was still accelerating when I backed off.

Hi guys - my furst post!!!



I've got a 06 model year 955i, with Triumph sports can and remap. Also fitted Triumph sports screen (which may may a difference as well). I've put a Sprint RS rear sprocket on (42 tooth) which reduced revs by about 400-500 rpm at 70mph.



Comfortable at a 100mph cruise (although I've now got a very thick neck), and I've seen 130mph indicated; noter - accoding to my Garmin 2610 satnav, my speedo consistently pver reads, but only by 2 mph!

Still can't keep up with my wife on the Speed Triple though....

Hi Guys, Running stock 05 with risers,MRA high screen & 19T sprocket & I weigh 18st have hit indicated 130 many times but local fuzz free road too short & twisty to let it top out, Steve

I think what some of you fail to understand is that the Tiger runs into an aerodynamic brick wall at speeds above 110+mph.  It doesn't matter how much extra power you have, the bike will still have a low top speed because it has the aerodynamic efficiency of a barn door.

But it's a fast, sexy barn door.  :mrgreen:

Got my stock 06, except for a 19t front sprocket, up to 125 mph, got scared and backed off.  I was kicking myself in the ass later for not pushing it further, but now that I know I would have only gone 5 mph faster, I don't feel so bad.  :P

Mine pulled 140 on the dyno and I've seen the speedometer pass the 130 mark still pulling.  My GPS says my max speed is 196 mph.  Somehow I think it got confused, I don't remember dropping it out of an airplane.
