Curious what the difference is after the speed and gear restrictions were removed. I haven't done a top speed run yet but from what I have seen it wasn't much more then my Daytona 675 was back in 2007.
Since you had it on the dyno what was the horsepower it made?Hey DaveInWoodland.
Honestly I have no idea what a Daytona 675 was back in 2007, I wasn't even born yet. :grin2:
The difference in feel and response now is mind boggling. The torque is hard to explain until you've straddled the new beast and experience it for yourself. In 4th,5th,6th @ 6,000RPMS+ at ~100MPH the front wheel wants to launch with the slightest of ease to twist. It at first was somewhat scary until I learned how to work with her. You really must pay very close attention because she wants to lose you from the saddle in a instant of a second. The acceleration is fantasticly unique and you can never get enough of its imparting adrenaline rush.
With the very impressive increase in torque, considerably more than the 2015 R1 that puts out ~73.2 lb-ft @ 8,790RPM (rear wheel) against Roxanne now throwing out more than ~79 lb-ft @ 9,270RPM (rear wheel) the difference is clear. In the 1/4mi Roxanne is uncatchable and takes the cigar.
I'm more concerned and intrigued with Roxanne's new HP and TQ #s than top speed, since for me personally as "Manfred Mann's Earth Band" stated, I'm "Blinded by the "Light" cause that's where the fun is! Massive thrust baby . . .
For the record, my perf guy clocked her on the Dyno at 162MPH+ in 6th with room to spare. And mind you this is after the extended ECU 500RPM rev limit increase. You can go further but at your own peril.
Money well spent Laddys, yes indeed. I recommend it to all my good '10' neighbors here.
