It's too fast for me. Not had the thought it's under powered for what I use it for. Just doing 70 mph officer.
While your statement is essentially correct, it's also flawed. There isn't enough available HP to hit redline in 6th (so I guess I've given that much away already!)If you have factory sprockets, and could hit the 9200 RPM redline in 6th gear, you'd be going ~ 130 mph.
This counts as modification. Are we talking Stock Form, or with mods?Revised gearing, I've already topped the first two, satnav confirmed, so pretty close. I'll vote 125.
My statement is not flawed at all. I said IF you could hit redline in 6th gear (according to standard English, the IF at that beginning of that sentence applies to both clauses). I didn't say it was possible.While your statement is essentially correct, it's also flawed. There isn't enough available HP to hit redline in 6th (so I guess I've given that much away already!)
Gearing mods are allowed - but you should know gearing is not the limiting factor with this bike.This counts as modification. Are we talking Stock Form, or with mods?
Exactly - available HP (to overcome drag and rolling resistance) is THE limiting factor.I think the limiting factor will be a lack of power trying to force a barn door through a thick gas we call air!
That particular Scout must have had a pretty significant bump in HP over stock to hit 128 mph. Maybe it was the super-aerodynamic (but also super-ugly) fenders!Last year, the new Scout was out on the land speed track at El Mirage and was only able to eek out 128 and some change in stock form.
The Scout had no modifications other than bars, and a slight augmentation to the ECU. 100 hp and 74 ft-lbs of torque.That particular Scout must have had a pretty significant bump in HP over stock to hit 128 mph. Maybe it was the super-aerodynamic (but also super-ugly) fenders!![]()
100 Hp would explain it - Somehow, I thought the Scout only made around 85...The Scout had no modifications other than bars, and a slight augmentation to the ECU. 100 hp and 74 ft-lbs of torque.
69 cubic inch (1133cc) liquid cooled v-twin. It is a powerful motor.100 Hp would explain it - Somehow, I thought the Scout only made around 85...
