    Try hitting 11100rpm in 5th gear now. Thats a big task on a stock engine. U'll need probably 3kms of flat surface to get there

    its really impossible to see and clock 130kmph + speeed on RTR..

    Also For yuour information..i would request i our jighly valued xBhpian Manan_in_2000 t5o throw some light, who has a RTR modded to almost 70%, Fully Upjetted,Full Timing Advance,K&N Air filter All done by Castrol Bike Zone.. And me and C_sbk went past riding him on Pulsar 180 while returning from a ride and his meter showed 130+ however our showed somewhere around 125kmph,and he was left way behind.. we were led by just two people SKYSCRAPER on the lead and we following SUNNY on the Second place..(we wer on 3rd and 4th place resp..)

    ans by this i hope we can conclude that our P180 was near 140kmph and sunny's and sky's ZMA were past 150kmph+ ....

    OT again, and you are that one lucky bugger who stands as an evidence to my 144.4kmph run on my Fiero.

    FYI our bikes are never tested over a slope. Its always level road, in the presence of many others/members.
    And FYI there is no other RTR in the country that is faster than what we know of anywhere else. The RTR is nothing but a revised Fiero engine. I own the fastest Fiero in the country, so lets not talk about any bike from Manan or stuff.

    And even if u crouched or not, how will that affect the accuracy of the speedgun/GPS? And my engines level of tune is far from what u can expect or believe. Although Group D regulations say the engine has to be stock, there are many other things that u can play with. Fueling, ignition, timing etc free in the engine. And mine is a blue printed engine with a much higher state of tune due to the above said changes. A bone stock bike stands no chance.
    At the same distance where my RTR does 130 on the gun, a bone stock RTR will do 121/122.
    And I've never quoted speedo reads anywhere man. Its all measured on the speedgun/GPS/Sigma. All accurately set and run on a flat plane.
    Also this is done in the presence of other members too. I dont need to prove anything here to anyone. This is what it can do and this is what it is.
    I can bet on the levels at which any other 4-stroke in the country is modded and I know where we stand. So lets not compare with something done by Castrol Bike zone. I know the factory bikes really well, whats this then.
    U wont even imagine what all is gone into building our engines, especially my Fiero. There is no resemblance of anything stock in the cylinder head/cylinder. Hope u get things now man.

    The RTR would hit 12k in 4th as well. However it would take crazy speeds to hit 12k in 5th and more over there is not much power build up.
    I made a modified set-up on my RTR and it was hitting 12k in 4th easily over a stock engine. Much faster and that too with a taller gearing.
    The max I have clocked on my RTR stock spec group D engine is 11100rpm in 5th with the GPS showing 134kmph. A bone stock bike will take ages or probably never get there at all. I did this is in an 850mtrs patch.

    TVS Apache RTR/FI 160 - (only M1g got it right ). Its the highest revving engine in the country till date(among cars and bikes too). Find out about any other engine made in india which revved till 12000rpm in stock trim.
