Just wundering what rpm an 1800 runs at 60 mph. and at 75mph.

 

[detdrbuzzard]

60mph should be right around 2500rpm

 

[budoka]

I might be a bit off, but 75 mph is 3200-3300

 

[Chopin]

I might be a bit off, but 75 mph is 3200-3300

That's close enough to agree with and a lot closer than the smidgen over 3,000 I was going to propose.

70MPH 3000 RPM smooth as silk.... any faster and the gas goes GULP! GULP! But they run so smooth and strong at 80 MPH though... don't they?

 

[budoka]

Well, look at it this way, the faster you are going when you run out of fuel, the farther you can coast!

I agree I keep mine at 70 , and boy does the gas gage go down when you pass 75

Well I never thought of it that way before... Good idea!

 

[Radarsdad]

Not sure about 60 but at 79.5 mph, it turns about 3450.

Tanks Radar. Seeing is believing. Oooh! Three White Wings in a row. That's a straight flush. P.S. I pass 60 mph so fast I never noticed what the tach read at the exact moment.

Your sincerity is suspect.

i like white wings, before i got mine i was looking for either a '95 or '00 white and silver anneversery 1500 se

Almost bought a 2005 White one before I bought the '09, but the guy had dropped it and broken the left fairing side vent. Piece wasn't overly expensive, but given the cost of the install in the shop (or the time and hassle of doing it myself), and what he wanted for the bike, I was better off picking up the new '09. I know it was only cosmetic, but paying almost new ($23k Cdn) for a then 4 year old that was 'damaged' goods, meh. Still am very partial to the white ones though. Doubt the "white knight" clan would have had me anyway, they're pretty exclusive y'know...

 

[Two Wheel Wing]

It's been so long since I rode that I forget... If my memory serves me correctly I believe it's somewhere between 2500 and 3000...

Mz. Vickie tells me it looks fine. I'm colorblind so everything looks like a Kenmore dryer to me. Does my bike look like an appliance to you ? Be honest.

Well, to be 'perfectly' honest....Nah! A bit em, serviceable (I believe they call the colour "refridgerator" enamel white?) maybe but defo NOT Kenmore material
