Still faster than I want to go, but I did have the little stock 600 up to 215 km/hr on the clock (so closer to 190-195 kpmh) across the bare, open Oregon desert earlier this year. That's in the range of 120 mph.

It was some of that bare, open Oregon desert where I had my 1250 up to 150 just a few weeks ago ... and my buddy on his tricked out CBR1000RR passed me like I was standing still (he said indicated 181)!

CHILDREN, don't try this at home!

I have had my G2.5 1200 up to an indicated 249 km/hr (~154 MPH) just cuz I could. It was on a very slight downhill with no wind of any kind. Unfortunately I was too busy watching the speedo with one eye and the road with the other to take note of the revs. :lol:
That is, hands down, the fastest I've ever gone in/on anything with wheels and no wings.
#17 didn't feel like she was straining or anything....but the rev limiter was doing its thing at the end of the run so I must have been hitting 11K RPM.
I may never do that again....but it's nice to know that could if I wanted to.
Now I've had a somewhat pale example of what the Moto GP and WSB guys experience.....but they do it every lap. :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
