    There are 2 types of speeds in the bike world1) speedometer speed2)gps speed (accurate n correct) if a bike shows its going 100kmphin gps speed it will be around 90kmph,this measure is the actual speed the error of speedometer increases with speedeg:for 10kmph the error will be 1kmph and for 100kmph it will be around 10kmphthis error is due to the fact speedometer uses bike's tire rotation to calculate speed and hence as rotation increases the small error will accumulate and will result in large difference in readingin gps the speed is directly calculated as distance traveled divided by time hence resulting in more accurate measure at all speeds#the speedometer speeds of almost all bikes are almost identical..if a rs 200 travels at 90kmph and shows 100kmph the same is happening with ns 200,r15v3,rc200,rtr2004v..so people don't mind gps speed and speedometer errors as all bikes have almost same magnitude of error#now to the fact "155 cc can go 160"let me just tell udon't compare cc with speed, especially in the case of Yamaha's 155cc vva enginethis engine combined with r15 v3' transmissioncan result in speeds over 155kmph( speedometer)or 135kmph+(gps)to be simple r15 v3 can do 160kmph on speedometer (140kmph on gps) in conditions where wind is not present or is inthe direction of the movement of the bikeif the wind is against you then the r15 v3 can only do around 140 on speedometer (120+on gps)just for funn...if you race against a bs4 pulsar rs 200 with a r15 v3 in the following conditions1) on a highway...the chances that you win are 50/50 because of wind 2)in a road surrounded by tall trees...the chance that you will win is 100%.. because wind won't be a problem and the rs200 will stop accelerating when it reaches 150kmph on its speedometerwhile R15 continues to accelerate till 160kmph on its speedometerHOPE YOU LIKED MY REALLY LONG ANSWERim just a bike addict 😂😂

    @ Shri | Speed cannot depend on the cc of a vehicle, Even a 125cc bike can reach this speed

    Wrong dude... R u joking 125 cc 😂Normally r15 v3 orginal spped is 140 to148 balance is speedo.. Error not like error it is digital lu designed like that in 150cc segment this bike jas high speed

    Speed depends on horse power and bore and stroke of engine...its all about designing and tuning the engine for sports use or track performance
