toping out

[bumpmuncher]

what road speed should a standard geared r100GS (92) top out at?
also same question for the 80. Bm

Look at the speedo for the maximum speed in top gear dot/line.

Ah well..it was worth a try.

Not much over the ton for the 800 I imagine.

Mine never seemed very happy t`other side of 80mph to me,anyway.

My Mono g/s runs up to 105 Mph on the clock. 100GSPD pulls to around 125 on the clock but the speedo was something like 14MPH out when checked on the dyno. so around 110 Mph which is the quoted figure by BMW, you will be virtually hitting the red line in top to get this though.

1990 GS, redline in top gear and the GPS showed 175 km/ph. This is about 109 mph which is pretty much what the manuals state the bike should do.

...but I don't think they like to stay up there for that long !!!

Agreed..definitely a, "been there, done that, never again" experience

mine r100gs 93 goes better now that i have fitted a road 5 th gear so it now does 70 at less revs then be for

 

[bumpmuncher]

bugger looks like the fd i fitted a while ago is off an 80 then and i asked MW for the correct one its taken me nearly 30k miles to notice so i dont suppose it realy matters
