Although you might see people in this forum doing 140+, please don't get tempted and try it on city limits.
Many of us have crossed 140+ many times and some of them even touched 150 on a little downhill. But all of these are on highways like Pune-B'lore, Pune-Solapur and all. Which have very good taramc and almost zero traffic and ofcourse with full riding gear.

+1

A few more points:

The top speed will also depend on the riders weight. the lighter the rider the faster he can go and also you will need to be in a full racing crouch (helmet completely behind windscreen, elbows tucked in, ass near the back of the seat).

Needless to say the only safe place to do it is on a race track. you can do it on a highway road but you had better be careful. the racing crouch doesn't allow a good view of the road ahead, if a car pops up suddenly from an adjacent service lane or something unexpectedly appears on the road ahead it could be game over.

Beyond 100kmph the wind drag is significant and increases rapidly with speed. When doing high speeds in a racing crouch never pop up you torso because your upper body will act like a sail and can unload the front making it unstable (on high performance bikes it can lead to a tank slapper). First get on the brakes and then bring your up your torso.

There is also the issue of wind noise which can get extremely loud (depending on your helmet) beyond 100kmph and can damage your hearing in the long run. An ear plug is an absolute must have.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

If the Engine, Chassis and gearbox are Completely fine then good, if there is work in either Engine or Gearbox, ok, but If there is any damage to chassis forget it, unless you get it for dirt cheap, like 5-6k.

From what I can assume, its a 2nd owner(1st on paper) run really well(as in ripped to its core) then had an accident. So I would strongly suggest to quote a price of 20k, and extent to a maximum of 30k, NOTHING more.

First move the handle bar to the extreme position on both sides, look for difference in clearence between the handle and fairing on both side, a sharp eye can even find the increased play to any one time.
Then first ride alone with the bike , try to feel if there is any tightness in the handle or any kind of lugging or pulling to any single side, if the roads are free ride for short span with hands off handle to see if its moving in straight line.
Then the most important part, ride with a pillion, check if it is pulling to any one side with the pillion seated , now if the roads are free and you are confident try the hands-off part again.

This test is from experience when i had found out chassis bend in my bike after an accident. hope this helps.

you said it was involved in an accident, so you dont know what all damages have been done at places that cant be seen just by looking at the bike.
since he had not transferred the bike to himself, technically its still a first hand bike (previous owners bike). i see a lot of "goolmaal" here

be careful.

if i were you then i would go for new/few months old bike without accidents.

The first owner is a friend of mine..
I will physically inspect all the damage,specially at a SVC before quoting anything.
I will be doubly sure of all the disadvantages before moving further with the deal.lets see..
And I own a brand new Fazer 2012 and quite happy with it. Maybe will repair the v2,keep it for a few days and sell it for a profit. Result of watching Counting Cars on History Channel..

Hey Ron,got ur post after a long time...hadn't been following the thread much.did u get back ur bike or bought a new one?

Thanks abhayshanu...if I hadn't asked here,maybe I would have quoted a bit higher.

I guess that situation is only in cochin, aftereffect of some nig time guy's son involved in an accident because the bike had no grab rails

But that was a thing of the past, or does that problem still persist ? As far as I am aware, no other places have this problem, not in kerala atleast.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

I'm planning to sell my bike. Its 50th anniversary Limited edition. 9500 kms on odo and its 1 year old. Vehicle is in perfect condition. 147km/hr top speed. Oil changed in all services. Could anyone tell me how much is a descent price? And if anyone is interested in buying pm me. I'm in Chennai.

That video doesn't show any substantial proof of the bike doing anything above 120kmph.
Seems fake claim most likely.

ya i was thinking that too but is this theory of turbo possible in r15??

Of course it's possible, these guys quite possibly have a working turbo on an r15, you can turbo or supercharge a small engine, the trouble apart from fitting the kit and plumbing it, is getting the compression low enough. I have been looking into fitting a supercharger, just not having the time for the project, though it's definitely feasible and will require a good amount of trial and error, getting the right piston etc. you'll have to run speed 97 or the diy alternative otherwise you'll not be able to run enough boost to make it worth your while, detonation will be the biggest obstacle once you're up and running, however the rewards if you can get reliability will be phenomenal.

Re: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

A concern related to engine noise.

I am getting a lot of engine noise when I try to accelerate past 6k rpm and the bike seems to struggle past 7k and there's a lot noise and roughness in the engine. And the engine is overheating also (but this could be due to high summer temp here in delhi and terrible traffic). And this happened today only when I was on my way to IGI airport. Everything was fine till yesterday.

What could be the possible reason for the noise and roughness?

Please reply.
I checked the engine oil level and it seemed good.

I felt the same problem in my friends r15 but it is not because of tappet valve . But mine doesn't giving such rough noise.
