07 883c top speed
howdy just thought i would make a post about the top speed for my dead stock 07 883c,
I went for a ride on the weekend with a group of big twins ( i was the only sporty in the group)
out on the open hwy, 180 kls ( 112 mph ) when the rev limiter kicked in 5th gear.
I think that is very impressive on flat staight road with very little wind.
PS all the big twin riders were scatching their heads looking at the sporty when we stopped at the pub for a beer,
cheers Bretho

RE: 07 883c top speed
That's a damn fast 883, bretho! I saw a travelogue about one of your roads, the one that crosses the country, considered one of the longest straights in the world. Also considered one of the most deadly from people hypnotized by it. You weren't blasting down that thing, were you?
RE: 07 883c top speed
My stock '07 883R will do:
35 in 1st
55 in 2nd
75 in 3rd
95 in 4th
~115 in 5th - never done it but I'm guessing that's where it will top out
(highest I've been is right about 105)
That's with topping every gear out, not hitting limiter - laying on the tank.
