Mine does 175 in 2nd, has custom paint though, when sprayed Kenny Roberts colours I expect it will do at least 200, on the back wheel, up hill,head wind, with the brakes on.Don't listen to all the other speed claims, they're all deluded................
These "am I restricted" questions do appear from time to time. IF it takes so much dismantling and detective work to see if a bike is restricted or not then what happens if you get pulled over by mr plod, how do they check if the power matches your licence.

Lad at work was pulled for speeding on a supposedly restricted bike, the bike was going quicker than it should have been able to so they had it stripped and checked, not sure which caused him to be banned but lets just say he was in trouble either way
it would do 141mpg.

Sounds like you have a restrictor kit fitted Dalton.Does it accelerate rapidly to that speed then stop accelerating or does it just run out of puff at that speed? If the latter, then I would definitely think it is restricted. If the former, it could be clocks related. I have heard something about the rev counter link to the ECU. Others will know more about that.If it is a black one, indicated 145 is possible though in reality it is more like 130. Obviously this test was carried out on a private motorway in deepest darkest Kent on a quite summers evening with another black FZS600 keeping pace. The blue, red, gold and silver ones couldn't keep up.
Hi All,A bit of a back story coming up, but I (think) I have a problem with the top speed of my bike.About a year ago I bought myself a Cat-D write-off 2001 FZS600. All it needed was new forks, and front fairing.So me being me, I decided to do a twin Xenon headlight conversion instead of replacing \ repairing the front fairing.A knock-on effect of this was that I needed to replace the clocks as they got in the way of the headlights, so I fitted a KOSO DB-01R Digital Clock.(Ok, I probably needed need to, but I wanted too!!)Anyway, after much fun trying to get the digital clocks setup, I finally got it booked in for an MOT, and it PASSED Since riding it I noticed there was a constant "scraping noise" coming from the front wheel, so I stripped down and rebuilt the front calipers. This didn't help and the scriping noise remains, so I've just ordered a set of bearings, but have yet to fit them. It could do with a service too no doubt.Before I had kids I was always a Suzuki Bandit man (will I get shot for saying that on here?), Now that my kids aren't babies anymore, I'm back to biking, hence me buying the Fazer.So, back-story done, we come on to my current issue. The top speed of my bike appears to be 86Mph. My Bandit 600 was always good for 115-120mph. I've verified the Fazer speed with a GPS Speedo on my phone, and the new Koso Speedo, and the GPS Speedo are remarkably close together, with only 1 or 2 mph variance.So my questions would be:Is this poor top speed normal?Would knackered front wheel bearings prevent a FZS 600 form going over 86mph?Any other ideas what my issue would be?Thanks allDalton
141mpg, better than porn Colin lol
Err a 51 plate in fast blue with micron exhaust absolutely will not ever do an indicated 142 mph...that would be madness. Equally a similar bike cannot do 130..two up
