Default raced my roomates r6

and umm..... he won.
we started at 45mph. both in 2nd gear. floor it, he gets about 2-3 cars on me by 80mph. 3.5 cars by 95mph. then by 115mph gap is down to 3 again. we then let off. if i had the balls to go to 150 i feel i would catch or pass him. but my balls have shrung over the last 10 years or so. :0)

yeah. bikes suffer from wind limited top speeds. an r6 can only muster 160mph.
we have a rematch scheduled!

Might wanna do your research first buddy. I have first-hand witnessed an R6 going up to 170.

i like the last link. its real world.

as for a hybusa, yeah, they are fast as shit. what do they top out at? over 200? you would still expect more from something that runs 9's in the 1/4. the ford gt can do 215mph, but runs 11's.
