Default How fast is fast in the S?

137 today according to the gauge.

My Ducati Ive had up to 187.


The S is fun but the Ducati would trounce it without batting an eye.


Pic I took the other day:

Yeah I just need more speed.


The Ducati does over 170 on the same road like its cheese cake.

Hada chick on the back of the ducati on the same clip of road doing 155 a couple weeks ago.



Going to dump like 12 grand into engine bits and a supercharger and see where that gets me.



Just for shitz and grinz... nothing more.

Thanks SF...

I want to lighten everything up as much as possible all the internal parts.

New cam titanium bits etc.


Then find a Super Charger for it.




Looking for longevity and something that will last quite awhile so I want to do it up right.

Well a turbo might be cool. Im just looking for something thats going to give me lots of use. Like something I could drive on a daily basis if I wanted.

Dont need to use it a DD though just want the reliability factor.


I think having bikes for so long has made me numb to speed.

Going into the 120s and 130s seems kinda mundane in the S.


Want so much more speed high end.

The S stock sits at 130+

maybe new gears I need ASAP.

Titanium will not be the way to go for longevity for valve train. Titanium galls. For example, Ti valve retainers will need to be replaced every 20-25k miles on the s2k.

Expect to pay about $5k for Ti rods for the s2k...and you'll probably wait 3-6months to get them.

Stick with the SC for power...the internals on the s2k don't need upgrading...it already comes with forged internals. Put your money elsewhere.

BTW...with stock gearing, even with the SC, you are going to top out at 151mph.
