          Also,can you justify the accuracy of a GPS unit or a speed gun..."NO"..cos you can Crouch or be sitting upright and it could be done on a slope as well..,whereas the speed on a flat strainght patch may be different..
          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+ ....


          Did 121kmph in 4thgear yesterday.....RPM was screaming at 11.1k......all this on a stock RTR

            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

                          • I got almost all of them except for 6 which I have confused between Jawa & Yezdi. Btw apart from the 6th one arent other features(not counting 5th Q) too common with Jawa?

                            Also didnt know there was RK250

                            • RK is a short form for Road King.
                              Yes, all the jawas were later named as the Yezdi. The bubbly looking Jawa 250 evolved into a more boxy looking Yezdi CL II. Then the RoadKing was the high performance engine with a 250cc aircooled shorter stroke (compared to the lazy jawas), CDI igntion, 16bhp and the later versions even had a flower head. There was also an aluminium cylinder kit which was made available to keep the weight in check as the older cylinders were solid cast iron ones.

                              • Silly me didnt think Rk == Road King

                                Yeah I knew of the changes to the engine but the only major difference that I used to use for differentiating was the boxyness of Yezdi & IIRC even the tail lamp was different with Jawa.

                                Btw we ararely find mention or discussion on the 350
