My example is real world also...and it was clocked. I"ll call my buddy and see if I can get the readout from him.

 

who the fuck is stupid enough to go 170mph on a bike?

 

Not I.

There are plenty of people, but I'm not one of them. My balls crawl up inside of me right at about 100, or at 14k rpms regardless of what gear I'm in or how fast I'm going.. lol.

 

oh come on shawn....its just a 600

 

Not really true at all, aerodynamics make a HUGE difference..

double the HP of a Hayabusa and see how much more speed it gets you.. hmm maybe 15 mph..

maybe thats why stock they will run just under 200 mph in stock form(limiter eliminated), but the world record is around mid 240's for a street bike on the salt flats with around 500 hp... 40 some mph for around 3x's the hp. I think I remember reading that the guy actually said the wind resistance is what killed him, once he topped out, he felt the rear starting to spin because it had plenty of power left..

About the r6 running 170, hard to believe, but I guess its possible. So he was clocked with radar or GPS? Was it stock?

 

Haha, its crazy how fast stuff comes up on you at over 100, I couldnt imagine 170
