last night...where I-75 dead ends into the Palmetto in Miami...I hit 164mph at 13.5k RPMs...on a bone stock '05 600RR....seems like time is standing still

 

2001 f4i and i have seen 167

 

See the link in my previous reply...you might not want to spend so much time looking at the speedo to see you're at 13.5 RPM and 164 MPH. All it takes is a split second at that speed and because your going over 200 ft/sec and by the time your synapses even get the message to pull the brake, you've already gone close to the distance of a football field!

I learned my lesson and survived and I pray everyone else will be as blessed...

 

I'll see what mine does at VIR full course this weekend.....I just did the first 500 mile oil/filter change so I'm ready to ride it like it's meant to be ridden...I'm hoping everything's broken in....haha.....thoughts.

And wow about the new R1....I have a friend with a few 98 R1s - and I thought those were pretty fast. I couldn't imagine 100mph in first gear. I just wish you could control that much power on the track. Even these 600's are getting harder to control coming out of corners....

This thing is fast enough for me. I wont' be getting another bike for a while. I was pretty loyal to yamaha until I bought this thing. It's treated me right thus far (only had a week though). I gave up on the whole brand loyalty...a nice bike is a nice bike...they're all nice....I just happened to get a deal on this one and I love the bike. I must admit though...that new R6 is going to be sweet....I just couldn't wait and didn't want to spend the extra 2500 to get it....not a big fan of the pipe on those though...I much prefer the Honda undertail...that shorty coffee can just looks so out of place....what does everyone else think on that?

 

I see 288mph every day, hell I see it at least twice a day.....

 

Not on a bike I bet[8D]

 

umm... yes, it's on my 600RR. Think about it. self test.

 

good one

 

That is a good one. Here I was converting MPH into Knots trying to figure it out. [8D]

 

sorry.... had to make a joke. With my lack of willingness to go to jail, I've only made it up to 120 on my overly crowed I64.
