@@ponzito drove a mt07 and it has same engine as a r7 just tune a little different but my uncle crashes it the second he rode it totaled dont be a idiot
The "130 up a hill" was purely from the downhill momentum. It quickly lost that momentum going uphill, and the video ended before coming all the way down to where it should realistically be uphill. And official top speeds are indicated at flat ground. There he did around 125. The ekstra 5 mph compared to your Z400 is mostly due to the better aerodynamics the fairing provides.
It has been 130 on the speedo stock gearing and exhaust. This video has slip-on exhaust and -1 rear sprocket. It will need more power to go faster with me on it.
The weight in this case is insignificant. Top speed is more related to aerodynamics and horsepower. Power to weight ratios are more significant to acceleration. Even with some additional weight, the motorcycle can still achieve the same top speed, it just takes more distance to do so.
130mph out of the Ninja 500? How much do you weigh? 45 pounds?...I wish i could try to top out mine, but knowing my luck a deer would jump out or a cop would appear out of thin air. Not fast enough to run from cops (not that i would anyways).
230 lbs. The weight is not going to matter very much, at all. It is the aero and hp that determine top speed. The weight makes it take longer to get there, as it mainly affects acceleration. Of course if you are as big as a barn door, that is not going to help your aeros.
@@Qrides I've had it to 130 indicated stock exhaust and rear sprocket. In the video it has a slip-on, but that is really no horsepower. I also went down one tooth on the rear sprocket but to be honest I really don't think any of that gave it more speed. I'm going to change to a full header and flash the ECU soon, and maybe a couple other little things and we'll see how fast it goes.
@@Shane661 yea myns got a two brothers slip on from dealership. I’m really wanting to do full headers and ecu flash as well but from tst it’s expensive asf and I’ve heard it doesn’t really add a whole lot to it but when u do let me know if it wakes it up any.
@@Qrides when I get done with the mods, I'll be testing it again with video, most likely. I already had my bike on the dyno when it had under 300 miles. It was right under 49 hp sae, stock.
Stock w/slip-on. In this vid it has -1 rear sprocket, has ran 130 indicated with stock sprocket and exhaust. I don't see much difference; needs more power to go faster. Bike was right under 49 hp sae on the dyno, with around 270 miles on it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MqFgxdwpvgc.html
Who told you that weight is a big factor in your top speed? HP and aerodynamics (your tuck) are much bigger factors. Weight alone makes you take longer to achieve the speed, because the rate of acceleration is less. A giant lard-ass might think the "weight" is the issue, but it is more likely due to their horrible aero.
@@Shane661 I'm not a fan for both of them, I just want to Know who Will Be eating smoke and dust and finally I'll decide to buy, I've seen in the Mexico top speed of cfmoto 450 sr can reach 216kph, I hope u have actual shoot out with cfmoto
I've seen that video. I don't think the Kawasaki has anything too much to worry about. Both bikes are about the same hp and aero. But there is a lot more aftermarket support for the Kawasaki. So that is an advantage for making more power. Mine will soon have more power.
Seven pounds is nothing, and 1 hp is nothing, overall. Rider weight and size are much more important. There are a lot of factors outside of what you see on paper.
My best guess is that you have an A2-spec model (EU?). The A2-spec is legally required to have a maximum of 48hp. The Ninja 500 is a bit below that at 45.4hp where the North American model has 51hp. Depending on specs, the weight varies a bit too, so that will have an impact on top speed as well. I'm going to a local dealer today to have a look-see on the 500 SE KRT in the flesh, as I seriously consider buying one. :) As I'm 48 and have a strong attachment to my driver's license, I don't care much for top speed anyway, so it is pretty much irrelevant to me. It should just be able to cruise cruise comfortably on the freeway at 130kmh (~81mph), which my previous bikes couldn't do (80's 250cc's).
Maybe you got the 45/48 hp model, I got the 52 hp model and it can really go up to 131/132 mph depends on your shifting tecnique, and I also do power shifting
@@cagatinjandel1600 Shifting technique has *nothing* to do with top speed. The top speed is determined by power (HP), power to weight ratio (including the rider) and aerodynamics. Shifting technique will just get you to a certain speed slower or faster, depending on the technique used.
Peak indicated speed of 131 mph is equal to 210.8 kmh. I believe there is a setting to change the gauges to kmh. I might do that next time as many people seem interested in that unit of measure.
@@educationcitystadiumclinic2709 recently my partner looked at a CF Moto 450 SS. I thought it might be fun to ride the two bikes together. But the dealer wanted so much markup, she could get another Kawasaki cheaper. There just aren't as many dealers for the CF Moto here. She already has a Ninja 400, and other bikes.
MPH. 131 mph = 210+ kmh. I was thinking of switching my gauge settings over to kmh readings for another run sometime. Seems that many vids show that, but I am in the US.
@@Shane661 I have the European version of this motorcycle. It reaches a maximum speed of 188 kmh. There is a limit on motorcycles. How can I remove this limiter?
@@Shane661 What I'm wondering is, I think both motorcycles have the same engine block. My motorcycle sold in Europe is 451cc, 33Kw and 42.6Nm. However, the other version appears to be 500cc 51Nm. I don't understand whether this information is just on paper or for real. I think after removing the limiter my engine will be able to produce 51Nm horsepower.
