you guys realize that the difference between 150 and 200 is NOTHING like the difference between 100 and 150. There are EXPONENTIAL increases in force put on the bike by the wind, the amount of power required to go that fast climbs tremendously. Theres a reason theres not many cars that will do 200, there are probably alot more bikes that *could* do it, but like i said your going to invest alot of money in getting there.

-------------- == 2.25 -------------- == 1.78
100 squared 150 squared
So 150mph has 2.25 times the wind resistance of 100mph
and
200mph has 1.78 times the wind resistance of 150mph
200mph has 4 times the wind resistance of 100mph
