someone said that on there ds650(just a big gun slip on) was side by side with a street bike and the bike said it was doing 85. i dont believe this for stock gearing and only a slip on. what do u all think? could it be possible?

 

its a ds650 baja X

 

I do know them DS650s are fast but i don't think they are that fast with just a slip on maybe?

 

78 MPH with stock CDI and Gearing The newer DS (i think 2002 and up) have a stock rev limiter of like 7800 or 7900, So horsepower is not a factor when it comes to top speed. My 2001 with 22 inch tall rear tires should do like 83 according to the gearing calculators.

 

most motorcycle speedos are off 5-10 mph when over 75 mph or so

 

I dont think the piped Ds would make 85 with stock gearing. Might make 77-78.

 

i belive it...
my stock ds does 80 only 22 viper rear tires
i swear in god i dont know whats wrong with all the guyz that say that the ds go MAX 70-75

 

Where'd you get this info?

 

Why is that? How is a mororcycle speedo any different than a car speedo?

Most land speedos are pretty darn accurate regardless of what they are on. Now a boat speedo is a different story.

 

Unfortunately its true usually motorcycles speedos are a little off and of course the higher the speed the farther off the speedo will be!!
