Just a hair over 150 in my old 97 cobra. 179 on my 08 YZF R1, It had more I just didn't have the balls. Got a speedohealer on it so it is spot on. All sport bikes read atleast 5% higher than your really going from the dealer. Hit both speeds on a way back country road with NO traffic..... On a side note to Jon and the other younger ones wanting a sport bike. You don't get a sport bike for gas mileage man. If you have never been on one are not much seat time don't get nothing bigger than a 600. You will kill yourself........ To all the cops on here. I ride the speed limit and not one of those dumbasses, Just had to see what she would do

VS200B (8/19/2008)
i was doing about 70mph one night on 3 mile bridge and had a 1300cc hayabusa (sp?) pass me like i was sitting still.... scared the shit outta me... i'd say he was doing atleast 180mph... ooh, i figured out what kinda bike it was because he got pulled over on gregory  that wasnt me,but i do have a 08 'busa and a fz6. since my kids jump on the forum once in awhile, i wont say how fast i have been, they ask me all the time. i have a busa, nuff said. back in high school i had a firebird (slowest of the group), archie had a trans am, brad had a 60's yellow fastback mustang and john had a mach I mustang like the one in 007 (diamonds). we regularly raced out to pensacola beach across three mile. none of us had speedos that went over 120 (except maybe brad, but i dont think his worked), but all of us buried our speedos. this was in the mid 80's and after midnight. yes, young(er) and stupd(er)

| Did a Hot Lap at Talladega last year - that got up to 128 mph. I've also hit the limiter on my X5 twice, that's 126mph. Ed
