top speed

[gas junky]

I have a 2006 EC300. I squeezed a top speed of 103KM/H this weekend on a dirt road. That was on the last stretch to the truck to load up. Good to burn the crap out after trail riding 2nd and 3rd for four hours. It is a three km road.

With the stock 13:48 gearing, i'm pretty sure they will do 120km/h. Iv'e seen 115 on the stock speedo on my 200, pretty scary speed on a dirt bike, thats for sure.

78mph with 09 300 13/49 , on private land

i can get just shy of 120 on my 300 with 12/48 gearing, and don't need 3km to do it either!
that is with a GPS

I was into the low 80s (about 132kph) next to a stock 2011 KTM300XCW. Both of us had a bit left over. I am geared down at 13/52 (same ratio as 12/48).

European of course, The African can't carry a GG

My friend claim to have followed a orange 450, on road, up till about 140Km/h, on the stock speedo..

I got my 03 to 87 mph on the road once.. it was on a twisty 55mph zone downhill that leads into town. After that stretch the muffler was smoking for about 10 minutes after I arrived.. I was starting to really worry I had a fire inside the can..

I saw 131 kmh on pavement with my new ec300 gasser last spring. no i'm not saying where i did it, but yes i did it /verified with my gps. last fall a bunch of my buddies and i had a backwoods race on old not used forest roads for about 10 km. i passed 2 550 bergs in the corners, a 570 berg the same way,ran down and held my own with a couple of 530 exc's. everyone involved, had their jaws dropped by just how fast the gassers are. and yes the fmf can was smoking like a cuban cigar for quite a while when we finally pulled over to chuckle about the run!

I pumped mine up to 120kms with 13/50 gearing in the dirt yesterday. The bike still had more left but my balls lacked the sack.

 

[wence]

118 km/h yesterday after setting suspension.
This was just letting it wind out in top gear a little, felt like I had heaps left??
Not sure but reckon at least 125-130?
Stock gearing on the 12.
Cheers Mark

My 03 250 will do 115 to 120km/hr with 12/48 gearing, theres a fire road with long straight sections behind the house, I dont hold it there for long tho.

I was running behind at a timekeeper enduro, had about four miles of gravel road to get caught back up. Had my 11 xc250 pinned the whole way. At the end of the enduro my computer showed a top speed of 81 mph. Thats with a 13/52 ratio.

 

[AZRickD]

Yep. And that gravel road robbed you of some power. Both slipping the rear tire and pushing through in the front.
