not wear leathers..... ouch!
I did 150-155 on my bike.. it's as fast as it would go with my *** on it. A very big rush and very stupid in hindsight. What cars there were, came and went so fast I couldn't tell what they were. Bike was like a bullet, no headshake and very stable....
If life begins at 160.. I'd hate to see what it's like at 200.

110mph trying to draft a semi. like everyone else has said... looking back in hindsight it was one of the most stupidest things i've done. the engine was making sounds i never heard before and i was scared it was going to blow up.

I usualy wear a nice set of Oakley's and tuck my head the best i can behind the windscreen, kind of a bitch on the 900RR though, not much room for your head. half the time your glasses fly off from the wind coming across the screen. thats a trip i don't really care for, that and loosing a contact, now thats a bitch.

Ive seen the edge my friends and it is scary. I have gotten to the elusive 175MPH mark. Yes i was clocked with a gun. I was on a modified 99 Busa. Silver and gold. I was wearing a complete race suit with a $800 Arai helmet and a big back protector to not only cushion the blow if i fell, but to also help the arodynamics. I was on a public road but it was 27 miles of straight a way. Was it fun? Fun is not the word. It was a flippin rush and a half. Ill never go to that speed ever again. Its just too dangerous. I dont advise anybody to break 100 on a public road its just not safe. Oh i still had a couple hundred RPMs to go up to top that baby out. But i wont be the one to do it. Maybe someone else though.

I have seen 180 on the speedo of my 98 gsx-r 750. Keep in mind that stock speedos on bikes (and cars) are NOT calibrated so my actual speed is unknow. I would estimate it to be near 170 since i was near red line and the tested top speed of srads range from aprox. 167-174 depending on conditions and the bike itself (manufacturing tolerences).
I have also seen 140 , from the passenger seat!!
I used to hit 150 about once a week.
Sold the bike though
But since I'm a mechanic at a BMW/Ducati/Triumph dealership I still get demos for the weekends. I know it's a tuff job but someone has to do it

I had my 'blade up to a shade over 180 on the clock...it took a bit of doing with a thing the size of me sitting on it, but it was running sweet as a nut!
The bike was completely steady, and I had my helmet pushed against the tank. The reason I had to back off was the fact that the wind pushed my helmet back onto my face so hard that my Oakleys were starting to cut my nose, and the front section of my helmet was starting to stop me from breathing properly!
Afterwards I had a sore neck for about a week :-(

Re: (Knightsport)
I have a picture that I took on my old GSXR of the instrument cluster and the road ahead doing 125(indicated). BTW in order to take this picture I had to sit up and take both hands off the bars. I actually had it up to more like 135(indicated) but when I sat up and let off the throttle it slowed down really fast, huh wonder why?????
On the track I have done 135-140 indicated on the front straight away more times than I can count.
But the highest speed I have ever gone, on the ground, is indicated 167 on my stock R6. I did have the minimal sense to wear a one piece with body armour and Kevlar, my RX7-RR4, kevlar gloves, and armoured boots. I figure it was really somewhere in the 150s, but DAMN that is fast. I didn't actually make it to the bikes top speed, it was just that I ran out of room to keep the throttle open.

Re: (GSRwBOOST)
Stay tight till you get back down under 130Mph. I know of a few guys who made unintended departures by raising up too soon and getting blown off. It is amazing how much braking power/control and time is needed to get back to 70 Mph as well. Not for the faint of heart or rational thinkers
