Knee dragging on a GS must be like chopping down a freakin' redwood

I use a Chip Log to get my defenite speed.

197 in stock trim, sounds about right.

Considering the second gens have 20 more HP stock, and better aeros, it should have a higher top speed, but it will only do mid 190s without the limiter.

The amount of horsepower required to overcome aerodynamic drag rises as the cube of speed. Consider this: 160 hp is enough to push a stock Hayabusa to nearly 190 mph, but it would take closer to 225 hp to get that same bike to 200 mph--65 more hp for just 10 more mph on top. Going 200 mph on a production-based motorcycle is a huge accomplishment--indeed, there are only 42 riders in the East Coast Timing Association's (ECTA) elite "200-mph" club.

190mph on the speedo is probably and actual mid 170s-180, depending on the gearing.

I was curious 2 weeks ago about Nautical Miles and looked up knots and stuff like that. And then I discovered the Chip Log and have been waiting for the right opertune moment to drop my new found knowledge.

It's just a joke, everyone was saying fake things and we went with something real. It's not really that hard to do it.
