[Kiohtee]

Hmm ... glad to see I'm not the only one to put The Canyon to its proper use. <cough>. For occasional patrons like me, who've never seen LEO's down there, is it patrolled much?

Not really, although the 14's have bigger motors they are also heavier bikes. It also help that I'm a light rider 160lbs. The Zx14 bike weight is easily 100+ lbs more than my bike, not to mention if the rider is heavier as well.

Idiots. Way too much traffic.

Hmmmm, I respectfully accept that statement, the tunnel had more traffic then what's normally there.

Those new ZX10's are nasty.

To be honest, I can count on one hand how many times I've actually seen a cop down there.

Not very smart.

Bikes move out. I miss my ZX10 and RC8R; but I know I got too comfortable riding, much like you guys. I'll keep it on 4 rubbers from now on.

OP_ what is the actually top speed of your r1m- obvious in the video you hit 180, ever have it faster than that, just curious. didn't know if it was speed limited or just runs out of rpm it will pull in 6th gear.

 

[nxhappy]

better off on a long backside country rode brother ..

that being said, nice riding.

Yeah I understand.

I have never tried to tap the bike out, I usually shut down at the top of 5th gear. 177 is the highest Ive taken the bike.

. I wish we had the luxury of back country roads.

what mods are done to the R1M? Are your flashed, and is the BMW flashed?

 

[5280stang]

Just a fun fact (maybe just for me) I may be one of the older members, but I may have the lowest post count per year year average.

Fast bikes ridden by future road meat .

 

[speeddemon2000]

Wondering the mods on the S1000R1 and the R1

 

[03Sssnake]

holyshit I got sweaty palms and feet just watching that...

Sprint Air Filter, Full exhuast, Flash on dyno. BMW has same mods, not sure if he’s flashed or not.

Not sure if they still do, but the big four manufacturers used to limit the bikes at 186, at least back in 2010 anyways. Also, the speedos were all off from the factory. Not sure why, but it was @6%. Had to run a speedohealer to correct it. Wasn't too big of a deal because changing the sprocket (gearing) was quite common so you'd need the speedohealer regardless.

What exhaust? Bike sounds good.

Limiters are removed when tuned, same as cars

Could't remember if that was the case or not. I sent my PCM out somewhere to be flashed. Never took it that high to find out though!
