Sorry.... didn't mean to hijack the thread. When you said "clocked" I pictured the po-po nailing you good.

Is that with or without a Speedohealer or likewise product installed? Supposedly there is up to a 10% speedometer deviation factory installed and it gets worse with sprocket upgrades.

Yep, very possible. My 04 CBR 1000 R ran 304km/h which is 188.89 mph on GPS before I changed my sprockets to 15 front and 42 back for more acceleration on the track.

We ran on the open road to day I was Radared at 178 for the second time by two guns and they were just reset for this race. I got 3rd in my class. But I think The bikes sould have to be stock for the stock class the 2 that beat me had mods my bike was just tunned up. It is totaly stock not one thing is changed at all.
