If you check out the speedometers of motorcycles, it will be observed that that the instrument will have been calibrated so as to indicate a maximum vehicle speed of 180 or 140 km/hr.

now what i want to know is, that can the vehicle really achieve such speeds ?


now the speedometer of my Hero Honda has a similar calibration, and when it is even driven at a speed of 80 km/hr, it feels like as if i am flying a jet, and the vehicle cannot be accelerated beyond this.

    I have seen Videos in which a Hunk is driven to its top speed in the red region I think they can be done but not in Chennai City roads but in special tracks

    Hunk has an engine capacity of 150 cc , and perhaps, it is possible for it to achieve such speeds.

    what about the lower engine capacity bikes like 100cc ?

    The first one is a bit clear the second just proves the first one it is possible but you need a more or less flat road to do it

    I am not sure any 100cc bike can achieve speed of about 120 km/hr.

    The Engine is driven to the extreme in such high speeds But seeing many dare devils in action I will never say it is impossible
