What would be a normal top speed on my 99 sxr 700? Right now it can just touch 100mph(speedometer) on a smooth trail.

sounds about right.

guess it's time to pipe it. I need more power.

I am not sure about that. I almost peged my speedo on a snow covered road. I had it at least 115 from what I could see. I think I could have pinned it too..

I have a 2000 700 (600 actual miles on it!) Bought it used with around 200 miles...

Could my speedo be THAT far off??

Why??

Are you gonna be big-time lake racing or do you just have a small ding-a-ling??

I used to have an xcr 800. This yammi is a pooch in comparison.

Dude, what's up? I've noticed you slamming everyone on here lately? You on broken leg meds or something??

The snow covered roads are better for faster speeds. lakes tend to have wet deeper snow causing more drag. I can def see 100 on a lake and 115 on a road/trail.

i would think you should have no problem getting over 100mph on the speedo. My buddies 2000 SX-R can run close to 100mph in a field with a few inches of snow to drag him down.
