My God that first to second gear change sound. Lovely!

[@mototop_]

Could be a little smoother :) but that's normal from 1st to 2nd gear

[@marcusgeorge1825]

Thank you. That was your best launch ever! 👍😎

[@mototop_]

Really? I'm not sure :D Sadly I shifted 1st gear just slightly below 100km/h per Gopro GPS. So 0-100 could have been a little bit faster regarding to Gopro GPS. But the rev limiter is very close at 100km/h in 1st gear. And that would cost a lot.

[@marcusgeorge1825]

@@mototop_ If you did hold first a second longer you would’ve sacrificed the next speed incriminate, meaning if you were on a track it could’ve cost a position or 3 by the time you reached turn one. It’s not alway about the zero to 100 kph in my book. That’s one of the reasons why I think it’s your best. More so with the throttle and clutch control as that combined with the weight is difficult. In the same way an old light weight 2 stroke (especially on a fast track like Phillip Island is harder to launch). Plus the first 3 rows at PI are uphill by just over 5 degrees. You don’t see it as much today however if you started on row 4 and got an awesome launch you could be in front come turn one. 👍😎🇦🇺

[@nickrider5220]

[@PatNetherlander]

After my beloved K1200LT I got a K1600GT and OMG what a ride it was. It’s a wolf disguised as an overlarge sheep. So many sportsbikes tried to outrun me. Some of the best could, but most couldn’t. And I always rode ‘full gear’ with two panniers and the topcase fully loaded with stuff for work. The sound was incredible. Could ride it all day long without getting my butt hurt at all. Said goodbye to it because of the weight. But miss it now and again……

[@mototop_]

yes, the weight is pretty high. below 300kg would be nice. Or what you think about smaller engine? only 1200cc inline 6 cylinder?

[@Watson2108]

That´s one of the best sounding bike engines currently available, love it. And the speedo is very accurate, Honda could never🤣

This should be what big bikes should be able to do. Goldwing tops out at 180km/h only

Nice video

[@mototop_]

thanks :) What you like exactly?

[@warnom]

It takes exactly 105 frames to see initial 0.1G accelaration to 100 km/h on GoPro's overlay; so 30 frames/sec => 0-100 km/h : 3.5 Seconds according to my calculation😆

[@mototop_]

Oh nice you're doing that work :) I start calculating just 1 frame before 1km/h. You're right that 0,1g could also be the start, but if I have a closer look to the video frames I would say it's not really moving forward, it's more moving upwards (rebound of suspension).

[@warnom]

@@mototop_ I confess, I didn't notice 0-100 km/h data at top right corner first and wondered how fast was that and instead of googling it I tried to calculate by counting frames. I had too much spare time at that moment I guess 😆

On German Autobahn it's not a big thing. We haver very very very very rarely accidents with speeds more than 200km/h.

[@bjb7587]

@@mototop_ OK. I get that about the Autobahn. You could have made that clear in your video. But riding at that speed is highly risky nonetheless. No margin for error. Stopping distance is about 160 meters, which means you can hardly see dangers ahead. No time to react to an emergency. And you may cause an accident if you crash. Don't kid yourself. Speed is one of the leading causes of rider deaths, along with impairment and lack of training.

[@mototop_]

@@bjb7587 yes of course, the faster you go the higher the risk. But it's not daily riding to go that fast.
