2008 top speed
I was wondering what the highest top speed anybody has seen with the new bike. I finally broke her in and managed a very smooth yet quick run up to 164 before and ran out of room (and cojones), it was still pulling ridiculously hard for that speed. I read in motorcycle usa's review that this thing will pull redline in 6th and was curious what anyone else has experienced.

RE: 2008 top speed
Almost all sportbikes sold in the US are limited to 186 MPH... the Hayabusa, ZX14, and and the rest of the Japanese 1000CC sportbikes produced after 2000 I believe are limited to that magic number. There are exceptions, but none of them Japanese (i.e. MV Agusta 412R and Y2K are the only two that come to mind)

RE: 2008 top speed
well vpso is right about the 186 mph tops...well after breakin my 08' in i managed to hit 155 mph before I ran out of room which is often the case especiallycongested areas...
At 155 I was only on 5 gear and only at 8-9rpm...
omg ...was it steady...and i had plenty of room left...shhheesssshhhh...
this thing is a monster...plently of pushing power.....
