How much MPH in 1/4 with 200 sae rwhp?
I keep on seeing some BIG MPH numbers with almost stock bikes. So what kind of MPH should I expect from a 200hp bike? 155? Should I set the gearing to use 4 or 5 gears? plan to run at the strip this year a little. Bike weighs about 530 with 1/2 tank of fuel, I'm about 190.

I think you can expect at LEAST 155mph if you really do have 200hp (I'm sure you have seen krexken's post)???
I haven't run a stroker yet but...I LIKE the 5-gear set-up FOR SURE on John's bike (6-over swingarm) and...KEN and ENTROPY seem to like the 5-gear on they're strokers also...
Right...GUYS???

Here's a site that has a quick & dirty javascript to calculate ET & MPH from weight and hp numbers. It's rough, but it'll get you in the ballpark. At 720lbs, 200hp will get you around 152mph.

I might could've stretched it to the limiter and crossed in fourth with 17-46 but I normally shifted it 100' before the stripe. 16-46 felt much better letting me get into fifth pretty good when crossing. Takes less clutch modulation with lower gears. That I like.

I flatten the scales at 750, and am using 17/51 gearing. Normally I cross the line at about 11.3 (shift light just went on, 151-2 mph. On a day with a strong tail wind I did pass after pass at 154.5 into the limiter about 50' before finish line.
KC is 100% correcto, I really like a 5 gear 1/4, but the 1st 3 gear shifts come up soooooo fast! Often I do the 1-2 on timing, not the shiftlight. The button shifter is REAL helpful for this ole man.
