That's a good point. I only ever reach higher top speeds when i go on long distance rides, as i increase air pressure on the tyres by about 10-15 psi.Have you checked your tire pressure? Low pressure equals a fatter contact area and more resistance, hence more energy. If you are a heavy rider, then low tire pressure will reduce your top speed even more. Think of a fat tire bicycle and compare that to the bicycle tires in the Tour de France.
The R3 Ymaha top speed is a popular entry-level sportbike that has gained a reputation for its impressive performance and agility. The manufacturer claims that the R3 is capable of reaching a top speed of around 110 mph (177 km/h), which is an impressive feat for a bike in its class.I bought my 2019 R3 new, its said the R3 is good for 110 mph +/- but I havnt been able to get much more than 95 mph. I weight 160 lbs
That seems like a HUGE increase in tire pressure to me.... Even if you were running track-day pressures (of 25-30 PSI), that could get tire pressures up to 45 PSI. I can't imagine going on a long-distance ride with tires @ 45 PSI (especially on an R3)????? I'm not claiming to be "right", I'd just like to hear more about why?That's a good point. I only ever reach higher top speeds when i go on long distance rides, as i increase air pressure on the tyres by about 10-15 psi.
