Centralia Airport VMax Run Aprilia RSV4 - Video

[R1Style]

This past weekend, I had the chance to do a VMax (Top Speed) run on a shut down Airport runway about 20 min's away from where I live.

Distance I had was approximately 0.6km's (3/8 of a mile) of acceleration with a bit of a run off for braking.

I managed to do 0-272 km/h (169mph) in just over 19 seconds.
I was having a hard time using the Launch Control... I don't think I'm feathering the clutch enough and I find my rpm's drop and it causes me to bog a bit.
Also, that speed is based off my speedo showing me a max of 272km/h

Anyways, in terms of power mods, I only have my AR Slip-on installed. I will eventually do another run once I get my Race ECU installed and my 15t front sprocket to see if it makes any difference at all.

Here's a video

Reminds me of the parry sound sportbike rally radar runs.

Still got my ticket for 249km/h around here somewhere.

In all the bikes that I owned, the speedo was always off by 8 % or more but to my surprise, the Aprilia's speedo and my GPS matched. I never tried anything near 270kms on my bike but your displayed top speed might not be that far off.

Normally they have a guy there with a radar but he couldn't make it out. Hopefully next time I'm out, the guy with the radar shows up.
