An interesting top speed run…

You will remember that I visited my RX3 friends in Turkey a few months ago.  Well, earlier today this interesting YouTube from Turkey showed up on my feed…

This is interesting and it’s good stuff.   The young Turk (sorry, I couldn’t resist) riding the RX3 in the video above hit an indicated 170 kilometers per hour.   I’m going to assume the Turks’ speedos have the same error as our initial three prototype RX3 motorcycles.   On those first three RX3s, the speedometers were 20% optimistic (our production bikes have speedometers that are about 10% optimistic).  Converting 170 kph to mph and then lopping 20% off of that number yields, whaddaya know, 84 mph.   That’s exactly what Zongshen tells us the top speed of the RX3 is.   How about that!
