i hear ya, i've hit 140 or 150 so many times its not even worth mentioning, but it doesnt take but a few seconds

I think it was about 220MPH on a friends Gixxer 600, it was the mohawk helmet that made it fast.

When I had my 02 R1
10.4@ 143mph 1/4mi
173/4mph "indicated" looked at the speedo just enough to check, while running against a Z06 w/boltons 500whp + 100shot.

On the ZX10 - supposedly 124mph indicated on a few hundred foot straight.

The fastest I've gone on the street was at the gap in the fast section, so maybe 120 or so. I don't remember exactly. On the track, somewhere around 165 at Road A.
