I have a GPS mounted on the Busa with ram mounts, and I have seen a GPS-verified 170mph in 5th gear at redline.

Unfortunately, the crosswind got to the point that I wasn't able to get into 6th and see how much further I could take it safely. She was pulling very strong through 5th, so I am curious how much more is there.

This test was completed at a top secret high desert testing facility, etc. etc.

umm-assuming u mean trap speed in the 1/4, who gives a shit if you went 150? if im on a busa, according to this, im still crossing the finish line a tenth or so before you, aka winning.


but this doesnt matter, besides the fact that this was '08, no1 races their bike 100% stock, and top speed is a moot point, they're all within a few mph of each other, gentlemans agreement or not.
