He never said he was doing 140 on the streets, and thats besides the point. The point is that the machine is not performing as it supposed too.
Are you redlined at 140mph? If not what RPM? Stunter = abused 1000RR. You could be low on power. The clutch could be slipping. Lots of possabilitys.

 

I bet it's your helmet, it's weighing you down. take it off and get yourself some kick *** sunglasses then you should be pushing 180 on cool factor alone.

Also, pants and jackets are terrible for aerodynamics. And you should look into some nice streamlined flip flops as well.
