I did some testing with GPS back in 2011. On a gen 2 with stock gearing 186 mph on speed limiter. 193 mph on rev limiter with top speed limiter removed. 198 mph with same setup but 200/55/17 pilot power. Stock gearing could hit 200 with taller tire and bump the rev limiter up 200 rpm.
 
I'll confess, I have never pinned mine in first gear, all the way to the red line. I normally go to 3rd and then hold on for dear life.
I've gone to redline in 1st, it showed 130kmh and it's on standard gearing.
My '06 GSXR1000K6 was a different story, 160kmh in 1st at 13,500rpm, standard gearing.
I hooked second and gave it full throttle and it immediately lifted the front wheel to a frightening height and soooo instant it was more than my little brain could cope with lmao.
Saved it from flipping over . . JUST!!
