Curious about how fast you guys have had your BDM Choppers?

I hear that choppers can wobble? at higher speeds?


so what kind of info you have? top speeds? crazy death wobbles? what.

I have been to 125 with no whobble and that's not the top speed. I haven't felt the need to find top speed.

120+ for about 20 miles. Don't know actual mph. Working on making the bike faster as we speak.Very smooth and actually rides better in the high end versus low/mid.
 
142mph.... Have a friend with a Kawasaki zx14...He told me he was in 3rd gear :eek: Thats all I could get out of the K9. No wobble while going straight, but when coming into curves mine would start to wobble. Didn't seem to matter if you were on the gas or off going into the curves the wobble was still there. Not a violent wobble but really noticeable. Seemed to be worse when letting off the gas going into the curves. At speeds below 100mph no wobble in the curves. On another occasion I tried top speed and only got to 139mph. It was during the summer so weather and wind and my weight probably will make a difference in other peoples top speed. We ride a lot of back roads here in Arkansas with sharp turns and 10mph switchbacks. I've noticed that if I can be on the gas going into curves the bike handles better. If I'm on the gas the bike feels like its glued to the ground.

Good info. So what kind of RPM is that? are you tacking out 6th? or just wont pull anymore at a point.
