Ahh, Rev limit and gearing. That is simple and relatively uncheatable. Makes sense. I know a very successful circle track racer who has told me many times that "There are cheaters and losers, and I don't like to lose". So I wonder about these things.Dragonfly wrote:Super Sports is strictly based on production bike and gearing (the # of front and rear sprocket teeth, engine rpm rev limiters, and wheel sizes) only allow for a Max speed of 165 MPH. Where the big differences come in is in things like acceleration in the different gears and how effectively you use them.

My bike's speedo doesn't go higher than 150. The governor kicks in a tiny bit after that. Hypothetically. I don't actually go that fast. Hear that, 77?

If it makes you feel better indicated and actual are 2 very different speeds. 150 is probably more like 135 and 162 is probably more like 145. Now THAT's funny.

Take it easy 77, we made 82 behave. We all laughed at him for being whipped, but he behaved.
