167 on an 06zx10r. I had half throttle left too.

Now on the 600, once you put race tires on and setup the suspension to turn in quick, the things always shake at anything over 140. Shit even my ZX10r did as well.

Or the obligatory 'I would ride one of em, but I'd only kill myself'.

The whole time I'm thinking 'shit, you run the risk of getting killed shaving your face each morning!' 'You could put your own eye out sharpening a pencil'...

I feel like killing everyone who says that, myself. If you would kill yourself on a motorcycle, you are obviously not competent enough to drive a car either, so take a bus home, idiot.

I really don't know my top speed. I stopped looking down when I saw 165 blinking by on the speedo. I do know I let off the throttle about the same time the telephone poles started looking like a picket fence.

If someone asks me I just say I don't know, I do know that it does 76mph in 1st gear though.

The wheelie comments are lame, and asking me if you can ride my bike is damn hilarious.
