Whatever; One one thousand, Two one thousand, Three one thousand, Four one thousand, Five one thousand, Six... then coming off the peg is... Needs a GPS to be sure. My vote is 181 - 199.

I have been to the limit before I put the Gipro ATRE on, I can tell you that being at 180+ and feeling the limiter kick in is scare I wouldnt wish on anyone. The bike stop producing power, but it so abrupt its like the engine just shut right off.

I was 140ish indicated. Haven't had my bike hit with a radar yet so lets just call it 130.

I plead the 5th... Its really hard to say though. When going fast and looking down at the speedo then looking up to see where you're going. Its like a time warp. So once I get above 150 I just look where I am goin.

On my own it has sen 190 one time in controlled conditions. Scaringly easy to do and deceptively smooth you get sort of scared at how easy that turns out to do. Things whiz by in a whole different dimension.

I have done 155 2-up and as the post above has already discussed, there is a HUGE amount of trust involved when your passenger knows that is what will be happening. Only done that once. It is more a sense of I don't want to do this with another person at risk rather than if the book could handle it. The bike was pushing thru 155 with absolutely no signs of letting up.

I quit looking at the speed odometer when I get in the triple digits. I find it better to focus on the cars that I'm now coming up on quickly! :thumbsup:

Don't own one.

105 indicated in my bike, though.

Doesn't feel all too stable above a buck. Had my father's VFR up to about 90~ and it was like riding a cloud. Different quality of bikes.

So you ride a Hardley then?

Yesterday I maxed out @ 40mph on my 50 honda

Was a heck of a rush+very scarey.

My little brother had one (50), and now a 110, and I always joke about how they are faster than my Busa, because it feels like you're doing 200 + on those things !!
