    i seen ghost rider 4 and it wasnt as good as it was cracked out to be...

    does anyone drive through traffic like that at 80-150 mph. just curious. cause when my bike can do a good 120 or so mph. i will be constantly traveling at that speed on the highway.

    of course it is...if u go down u think cars are goin to be able to stop in time..plus it could cause a multiple car pile up and kill others...but i still do it so i wont critisize people who do...

    all you need is someone to change lanes when you coming up at 100+ you might be able to move. Also like lucabratzi said you go down your also get run over.

    You bike is never going to go 150mph

    stock it comes at 37hp. max speed about 120mph.
    bought it comes restricted at 15hp max speed about 80 mph.
    i would hope it can get up to 150hp with upgrades.

    we are some of the main upgrades to do, to get top speed up mainly.

    your are going to need about 80hp to get to 150. Your not going to double the hp of the bike with simple upgrades.

    that does max sense.... but curiously what are some simple upgrades.. even a extra 15 mph would be great. just to get over 200km without red lineing

    You can probably change the sprockets but it ***ends if you bike is running out of gear or hp now at the 120mpg. If you change the sprockets that's going to hurt the acceleration.

    Exhaust, tuning the fuel injection are simple add ons. You say they are upgrading it now. What are they changing on it now to get the power up.

    i dont know exactly, but some of the main things is,

    they change the carb from 28mm to 34 mm.

    also they put a power valve in the exhaust port. which opens electronicly
    i hear it opens and closes at different rpm making it pull like a train, especially after 8000rpm.

    there is a few other little things to fit these parts in and configure there purpose.

    this just makes the bike full power. because when its sold its always sold restricted just under half its normal power.

    oh i also have a question, i see alot of riders stick there foot out when passing cars or turning corners, these are not even big or sharp corners. even arround bends and stuff. its really ugly, they stick there toe out towards the ground well away from there bike and pegs. or they stick there heel out or put there foot almost down touching the ground, i find it very ugly and apualing to see. somewhat offensive.

    is there any skill or point of this. because it really bothers me.

    Your bike is carbureted? I assumed it was fuel injected.

    The exhaust valve will only help low end power not above 8000. It closes at lower rpms to there is more back pressure and torque. It opens higher rpm so its just like have regular exhaust once its open. Your paying to get this upgrades? Why not just buy after market exhaust and carbs and make more power. And not waste your time with this half of an upgrade.

    bike was 5600 euros, upgrade is costing 800 euros, i know its expensive. but this will get it atleast as its best proformance for what it is. meaning its normal power ect.. i dont have the expirence or common sense to know where to start by buying the parts myself and doing it. so i think alot of the 800 euro is laybo payment but its illegal for the bike to be full power in france and the bike store is very helpful and supportive since we are good customers. so i dont wanna go ****ing around with it and then having a problem later with then because i did it myself and not professionaly.

    also any one got any idea on the foot thing.

    Well there are boards like this for bikes. I'm sure Aprilla's too. So go do some whoring there and read up But if you want to do upgrades later and get more power like you say. You are going to throw out the parts you are spending 800 euros on.

    Its like your buying another Subaru exhaust for your car when you want to put HKS on it a week.
