Great psychology from Suzuki....making the rider believe his top speed is a few (sometimes 15+) MPH faster than he/she actually is. Death is potentially close when traveling that fast, especially for those of us with inadequate abilities/unprepared bike maintenance/improper safety gear.

Did 170 one time and it wasnt a wise decision. I need to take my busa to Texas Mile and see how fast I can go safely. :whistle:

You won't see how fast you can go at the Texas mile, just how fast you can get to in a mile :whistle:

135 on a GSX-R 600, and it was screaaaming (I was a lightweight 215lbs. at the time :rofl:). Don't know if I'll ever go past that by much. Well, not on something that light anyhow. :lol: maybe when I graduate to the 'busa :bowdown:

On the street: NEVER. And NEVER will...just not worth the risks to myself or others.

On the track: Not yet. Only been on a track once, Keith Code course, their bike (2006 Ninja zx6r) w/no speedo. I believe I hit about 130 mph based on RPM/gear info I recalled. Looking into finding regular track time this season. :) Hope to revise my on track answer soon. :cheerleader:

No. Never been to the track, straight or curvy. The fastest I've seen wa 90mph on my speedo (so about 84-85mph). I don't have the interest in going that fast unless I can do it leagally. Besides I bought my Busa for touring.

I never break the speed limit or cruise the internet for ****.
I have however put in an order for my angel wings and they
should be delivered in 6 to 8 weeks.

I've had my 09' for about 7 months and I would say on average I peg the bike about twice a month. 150mph...then you put it in 4th

a few times for me which is no problem but the 186 is still questionable.

Right after my break in period.
I went to Dolly Parton Bridge at 3am and took her to 175.
It then occured to me I don't know how the 189 cut off works.

I did not feel like testing it.
Found out later it was a rev limit.

have done 125mph max on the stock meter. If it's 15% off, then it's only 106 :(

The way I attract cops attention, dont think I'm going anywhere near it any soon. :banghead:
