Anyone maxed out their Uly? I rode up in the high country today and was on one of those roads that is dead straight, stretches for miles, plenty of visibility and no cars. I've got a gps and couldn't get my '06 xb12x faster than 106mph. I believe it was around 5400 rpm. This was done at around 8,600 ft elevation.

I have been a GPS'd 132 on mine with no bags and laid out with no winscreen.

that was at about 225 ft asl, about 65 deg.

With the Ulysses, 130 mph. It started to be a little too scary for my liking, compared to my (previous) ZX7.

Went on a long trip over Memorial Day with side cases and a big duffle. The most I could get out of it in the Owen's Valley, CA (4K feet MSL) was about 115 mph. My Lightning will easily do 130. I think the delta was about half wind drag and half altitude.

I Got 123ish with bags and duffle on my XT. Temp around 70 or so, flying over a bridge over a lake maybe 1000ft. elev.

And 130 with no bags, about same temp, elev.

I weight 230 + gear

I think the bike will do better now, it gets stronger as I put more miles on it.

I got my '09 xt up to 125 according to the gps. Full bags and camping gear on a flat straight stretch in Wyoming.

I haven't turned on the GPS during a speed run yet. I've bumped the rev limiter in 4th with the sides and top case on. 08TX slight uphill grade.

One thing I noticed between my '06 and '10-with the '06 I could just hammer on it and get up to speed in 5th gear. With my 2010, I have to hold out 4th to the limiter and then shift into 5th to get to the same place on the speedometer. My '06 had the race ecm, k&n and Drummer SS and I got to 140 on the speedometer, which I'm sure is off some.

142 according to the GPS, 150 indicated. 6th gear, going UP a hill, ran out of room before redline which was quickly coming! : (

126 on the GPS, loaded side and top hard bags with Buell bag on triple tail. Might have been able to wring out another 2-3 mph, but fast enough for me,
