Post 2001 bikes It s unclear whether the gentlemen s agreement is still in effect I m also unsure if MV Agusta Aprilia or BMW ever considered themselves bound by it I ve added some of the restricted 186 mph nominal bikes but more need to be added I ve put in the BMW S1000RR as the new record holder based on a test at Bonneville and a number of vague claims that it went significantly over 186 mph I d like to see better sources on that I m not totally sure what to make of the results from MCN The numbers they give for various bikes don t state in a straightfoward way whether they tested a restricted bike a derestricted bike or if the bike was never restricted in the first place Ultimate Motorcycling is taking dictation from BMW s Gary Orr owner of a dealership that the bike reached 196 totally stock Other sources seem to kind of support this but I d be happier if it was more independent Is the top speed on the S1000RR governed or isn t it What about other bikes If I change the text to say The 2008 BMW S1000RR has exceeded the 186 mph limit but there has been no commentary as to what this means with respect to the gentlemen t agreement is that synthesis or original research I d like to take a conservative approach and not accept a single claim that a bike reached a record speed and settle on a minimum speed that multiple sources agree on But I m not sure what criteria to use The alternative is to throw all claims in there and let the reader sort it out
