this 1 LOOKS killer anyone got any side pics or up close shots of full carbon fiber setup? http://www.sportbikerider.us/index.cfm?fuseaction=displayit&Picture_ID=50852 edited by 420at145mph on April 24, 2004 | ||

Ummm... 160 mph? That sounds like a REAL stretch. Sounds like that is "projected speed based on Dyno". What would an XBR need to hit an honest 160? I would think something in the range of 150 RWHP minimum, probably more. His engine has a nice set of mods, but nothing I am seeing there that would put it anywhere near that. | ||

I don't think a XB is geared to go 160 at 7500 RPM where the rev limiter hits,so I don't believe that it will do 160 | ||

LOL...that's Corey's bike - as in from the whole Brion/James stack fiasco. When I asked him about how he could claim to do 160mph on a Firebolt, I got a list of modifications to the engine. I said, that's all well and good, but the bike is physically incapable of 160mph - the gearing's not tall enough. ...then he 'confided' in me that the bike had an experimental 6-speed tranny in it. What a load of bullshit. Those guys are pathological liars. | ||

6 speed tranny in an XB??? The shit just gets deeper & deeper with those guys. | ||
| Draoidh |
Dyna, not that I am supporting their claim or anything but they might have installed the Baker XL6 6-speed transmission kit. --D | ||
| Leeaw |
Somehow, a 160mph Buell that probably cost over 16 grand, and is worth half that, does not sound that appealing to me. | ||

Draoidh, I don't think you can in an XB. Baker doesn't make one for them. The tranny is different. | ||
| Dyna |
Dyna, not that I am supporting their claim or anything but they might have installed the Baker XL6 6-speed transmission kit. Impossible, it wont fit. Totally different tranny setup. | ||
| 420at145mph |
meh total bullshit or not the mods sure do make a nice speedy list wish they were all on my bike | ||

I'm glad I got my boots on......  | ||

Read his bs list, I cut it down a bit for simplicity XB12 Air Box - Cut with a Prototype Open Air Box design and SVVS Vortex Cone Custom Race ECM - 12.5 AFV, 5% high-RPM timing retard, Delphi wiring harnesses - Techlusion Processor - Buell Race Kit - Custom Ground Race Cam That is it... otherwise, she has a stocker 984cc engine with only mild extrude hone and polish to the heads - She will do every bit of 160 MPH! Not too bad for almost all stock and turns in 89.5rwHP Hmm supposedly a chooped air box & a custom race ecm...thats pure bs. Anyways then he claims he also has the Buell race kit installed...I thought the race kit was ecm, filter & muffler? All that supposed work & he might have the Buell race muffler?????????? What a waste. And then he claims custom ground race cam. Cool so now they only have a single cam instead of 4? Idiot. Add that in with his ridiculous 160mph claim & I really dont know what to say. | ||

maybe new pullies, ive seen some on trojan. not sure if it would be worth 160 mph tho. | ||
| Dyna |
Corey is now over on atc ranting about what a bunch of losers Badweb is & how all his claims are true. Claims the XB has a 6 speed tranny but its secret & wont be released until its ready....oh but he was able to get one...uh huh sure, whatever.http://www.americanthunderbike.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=4;t=00 0384 | ||

i got 142 mph BONE STOCK 18 mph more aint that much | ||
| Prof_stack |
An indicated 142 mph is probably due to speedo error. Most motorcycles speedo's are optimistic, probably to keep the insurance companies mollified. | ||
| 420at145mph |
naw man it was every bit of 142 u can tell by the IMBEDDED bugs in my helmet u know the kind that leave scratchs n shit | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
420, it seems that some nice gents took a stock XB12 out to the salt flats and with official type timing gear...were only able to pull a measely 125mph...Seems the revlimiter kept cutting in making it a bit difficult to get much more out of it... | ||

420dude - the carbon bike is mine. Kind of flattering they have the picture up, but I am not affiliated with them in any way. As a rule of thumb, from much respected powers that be, 10% more speed will require 33% more HP. For the reasons posted above their speed, and other claims, are not realistic. | ||
| 420at145mph |
DUDE! got any good close up and side pics of that thing? i kinda wanna either paint mine black or go all carbon fiber but dunno how itd look | ||
| 420at145mph |
i get 130 EASY with my 9 just got it about an hour ago as a matter of fact 142 isnt all that hard but it DID hit the rev limiter both times ive got it that high | ||
| Glitch |
The bikes usually run about 6% optimist on the speedo, and the error gets to around 10% at higher speeds. If you truly think you're going 147 on a bone stock bike you need to be headed out to the salt flats and set some records. Dyna, you forgot those plug wires, I forgot which ones, but you know what I'm talking about! | ||
| 420at145mph |
meh whatever my speedo said 142 twice im stickin to it | ||
| Court |
I can fly | ||

420, I not going to say your speedo didn't say 142. I will say, and know for a fact, that if you calculate the final drive ratio with maximum engine speed (rev limit), it calculates out to 132 and change. That is the mechanical maximum speed, with stock gearing, if you have zero wheelspin. Mathematical fact, plain and simple. Timbo | ||

This is from the Corey James home page: Corey James makes some interesting claims. It's a bit sad that people are wasting their hard-earned money to line this idiot's pockets. Mike. | ||

I don't think 420 owns a bike. Mike. | ||
