What's the top end speed on a GsxR600 and a FZ6 - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Not that I will ever go that fast LOL and hope my son doesn't either reason I ask is him and his buddies were talking about them today...... I have no clue and figured you guys were the experts on this.

The top-end of a GSX-R 600 is probably in the range of about 230 to 240 kmh (140 to 150 mph).

The Yamaha FZ6 has less HP than the GSX-R (98 versus 126), so it's top-end is probably a bit lower, somewhere in the range 130 to 140 mph.

But those are my best guess ... I don't know for sure. I know the top-end for my bike (what Suzuki claims, and what I've done), and there is a good 20% difference. Suzuki *claims* that my bike is capable of 235 kmh (145 mph), but even on the Autobahn, I've never had it much above 200 kmh (125 mph).

I'd agree with that as real-world numbers. Of course, the speedos will show up to 10% more.

I don't want to look like a squid for posting this hahaha but I probably will...
The indicated top speed on my bike is 167 mph. Most Suzuki speedometers are off by about 10%, so if you subtract 16.7 from 167 you get about 150 mph.

Not so sure about the FZ6, but as inspiron said, it's probably about 135ish mph.

2004 gsxr600 Top speed was 177mph before the speedo slowed down and slowly crept up.

My friend put a tre top end speed eliminator on after I found that my Gixxer stopped at 174. That's another discussion. I took his Gixxer 600 out and rev'd it up on the highway..came right up to 174 then just kinda stopped there..and started creeping up. Maybe it was his bike..not sure.

174 - 10%, maybe.
