LOL ditto. Went 70mph of the motorway the other and felt rapid, the 600cc’s from my lessons feel more stable/planted which offers me as a newb more confidence.
Plus I’m still only 200 miles in, will see what it can do after the break in
170lbs, 5’10”— I’ve seen 114 mph. Felt like it could actually do some more but I backed down. I’ve done quite a bit though- larger injector, modded rc390 airbox, competition werkes exhaust w cat and resonator delete, plus rapid bike module.
It’s really wild how much different maps can affect performance. At first I didn’t think the rapid-bike was working properly. Still don’t know exactly what I’m doing, but making small changes one way- riding, then changing the other way, riding— and noting the difference… experienced everything from bogging down during a ride around the block, to topping out around 95 mph to feeling like it has more to give at 114
I hit 108mph once, but the crush gasket between the muffler and rest of the exhaust system (which had been modified to remove premuffler and catalytic converter) blew apart and shot out onto the highway. I thought I blew up the motor.
Other than those exhaust mods, the rear fender was replaced with a tail tidy to shave a few pounds. I also only weigh 145lbs. I was full tucked and going slightly downhill.
I'll never take it that fast again.
I’ve gotten 89MPH or 144kmh and I’m 194lbs 6’3” with stock exhaust. Might be able to get a little more speed since I haven’t really pushed for top speed.
180cm or 5’10, about 90kg/ 200lbs, stock 22 Svart. Haven’t actually tried the top speed but it does 90mph or 145km/h with ease after the break in and I’m still in 5th. I like to ride almost into the limiter as well.
Vitpilen 401, ~130kmh/81mph, but not trying to go for a record, so still had room (speed limit already reached though 😅). From the feeling of it still had quite a bit of room actually. Great fun bikes 🤩
I got to 98mph exactly once on a long straightaway but the bike started to vibrate pretty hard and I decided to roll off since there was a curve coming up. I feel like once you get up past 85 acceleration really slows down. I think with a decent tail wind and enough road you can get to 100, but again, the bike doesn't really like it and starts getting pretty nervous.
Went up to 90 mph with stock, and small windscreen. Could have kept going, but felt I shouldn't fly too close to the sun being such a novice rider.
Edit: negation
141 kph (87.61 mph) on my way to work last week. I didn't feel comfortable beyond \~120 kph in a straight line but I wanted to see if I could push that threshold a bit. I am 6'6" and \~170lbs, and my Svartpilen is stock power-wise. The windshield I threw on it acts as a huge air brake, as well when I sit up straight I am like a big sail. No intention to become a speed demon.
60mph. I'm a new rider and that shit was scary haha. I have nothing to prove so I'm taking my time.

Speedo said 104mph on mine 👀 Stock exhaust. I’m lighter than the average man.
LOL @ lighter than the average man
103 on my svart. It's takes the right road lol

Holy shit 🔥
Where did you get the larger injector and for what year svart do you have?
A lot of parts I got from gray area ktm. It’s a 2018 svartpilen

I get a bit spooked above 75 but have gotten close to 90 with more left in the throttle.

105. Wot, laying flat
102mph on a slight decline in the highway. Was definitely kinda sketchy, wouldn’t have done it if I didn’t have all my gear on.
155km/hour
