There is an abandoned road in the port of Tacoma, straight as an arrow and no LEO's. Some nights me and the guys get out there play around. I'ts blocked off but a bike can get through.

I like the way you included the Think you have part. Speedo errors.:laugh:

Funny thing about that is,, almost everyone thinks they have a 180mph Busa or a 200mph Busa! hahaha Really? Show me the certificate or the GPS!

So true! It is pretty fun to listen to people talk about there 200 mph bike, especially when it is stock. Stock busas do not go 200! I have a busa set-up for LSR that is making 170 hp at the wheel and it hasn't seen 200 yet. It's been 185 in the dirt at El Mirage.

200 is harder that most people give credit for, mine has a 200 pass in her with the right conditions. I watch stock busas go under 170 at the track all day long.........I've seen the time slips and her the announcements, even 180 on a stock busa can be somewhat difficult.

Like SRAD said show me a GPS reading or a time slip.

I'm not telling where I did this, I made it as high as 5th and had a lot more left in the throttle. I am sure my restrictor would have kicked in soon but I KNOW my stock bike will reach it with no effort....

??????Any stock geared, well running Busa will do 180mph with fair weather,(with a skilled rider) and assuming your not limited to a standing mile, or weigh 300lbs:laugh: And of course the speedo is buried long before the bike ever tops out.
200mph of course isn't possible stock, even derestricted, but 180mph is very realistic. Or are you referring to the rider? I know everyone and their brother that ever rode a 600 has been 200mph:laugh:
My gen2 would do 185/186 consistantly by gps(sprockets now changed). I weigh 173lbs without gear and am 5'10", so I tuck in well, and I'm not doing it in a mile either.

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:
