The speedo will be off by 5 mph or more at high speeds, 179 mph I seriously doubt being that the land speed record on a 600rr was recently set on an RR with nitrous (and other mods) at 184 mph (radar confirmed).

I've had a indicated 157 mph on my '03 RR and I side note...with stock gearing you cannot redline this bike in 6th gear!

Full face helmet, leather, gauntlet gloves, track pants and boots err, umm or it can be any where between 2nd thru 6th gear depending on how agressive or nonagressive I'm riding [sm=devilangel.gif]

Sorry boys but that ain't KPH it's MPH and was garnered through gearing and turbo charging of an Hayabusa.
