Great so what is top end without limiter?

I don't think it is much more to go on an unmodified R. Cool weather and a long straight might push it a bit over 300, but not by much. When you reach 280-290 it takes time (and clear road) to manage to tip the 300 scale (on a gps tracker).

Hmm where do you try this? Do you have suitable roads in Norway or have you tried this in Germany? How about traffic?

In Germany. We usually do a trip each year which includes a visit to Nurburgring. Traffic is the worst problem though, so you need to be lucky and/or pick the right time/day of the week.

@Arne.
Hi Arne, who are 'we' ? Any chance you're coming over this year ? I am driving to the Nordschleife on june 2nd. Won't do a round with my FT
as its not insured and I cannot afford any -serious- damage to it. Will take a ringtaxi just to experience it...
I do the NS with a simulator, in which I go off the track so often, I'll won't risk my life for the real thing..
My son has the simulator set-up.
Did you do the round with your FT ? Any change you have a dashcam film of it you can share ?
I am running my car in on a short term to be able to check the top speed in Germany on the way...

'We' are some friends from Norway with some fun cars. Unfortunately no trip this year, at least not on this side of summer. Just not enough time.
Most of us does not take our cars on the track, for the same reasons you describe. However you can rent cars there for use on the track.
I have no footage going on Nurburgring by car, but I used to drive a lot there on bikes some years ago. Here is one lap with my Yamaha R1:

Below is some dashcam footage from the trip we did a couple of years ago (only from public roads). Too much traffic and bad weather to test any top speed on that trip, but the trip we made to Stuttgart last year was a bit better. Unfortunately I did not have my videocamera with me on that trip.
