My 82 Maxim, road test, claims a top speed of 88.4 mph? and yet the road test on the 82 Seca (which uses the same engine) has a claimed top speed of 107.8 mph. Can anyone explain the discrepancy of almost 20 mph, between the two? as both use the same engines, and the overall gearing is supposedly the same, despite the extra gear, on the Seca?
This has been puzzling for a while now, I have asked at a couple of local Yamaha dealers, and they were of no help whatsoever! As they didn't seem interested in old models, all they wanted to do was to try and sell me the latest R1! So any help to settle this little conundrum, for my own peace of mind, would be much appreciated!
