Im from canada and i max out my bike at 240km, so im assuming since its a 600 and the same bike it does about the same thing, and i got a ticket doing 230 on the freeway, got chased by helicoptor and 7 cars, got the ticket to prove it

 

king kong...are you proud of your speeding ticket or something? not antagonizing you, just a question.

 

My max is 118 so far. I'll tell you what I didn't even know I was going that fast. I was just out on some long smooth straight highways crouched down and just let her rip. Looked down and oh crap I'm going 118! lol I love going out on some of these highways that are 55mph and taking the long sweepers at 100! Man that's such an exhilarating feeling it's so awesome way too fun!!! But I think I still prefer the 15-30mph twisties at 50ish and really pushing the bike hard in corners. Seems safer and more difficult as 100 around a 55mph corner is easy you barely have to lean the bike and it's a bit more scary.

wouldn't that big of a chase strip of of your license for life and send you in the can for a while?

 

Glad you are from Canada. Here that would have ended with you in jail and your bike impounded. Running is a Felony anywhere in the US.

As far as dampers go, you don't need one if your suspension is setup properly. The F4i is a fairly stable bike. You will get tankslappers if you do something stupid. I got a light one from accelerating hard over a hill. Nedless to say I don't do that anymore.

 

according to the speedometer I've been up to 141 and just ran out of room

 

Damn 150... I got to 115 on the speedo once and that was enough for me. Im sorry i've grown attached to my bike and my limbs. One little mistake at those speeds and its game over for a long time. I just dont think going 150 for 5 seconds is worth months of injury and thousands of dollars in damage to the bike.

 

It is here in canada too. Pretty sure king's just bull****ting.

 

I did the 150 once, but my morning was 4:30AM on a Sunday. Zero Traffic

 

I've hit 160, that was with a 600RR right with me...
