You mean the F4i's that came from the factory with the Redbull mod over the shock reservoir tank? Wish I could have nabbed one of those.

157 mph 13800 rpm -1 on front. when i got there i backed out to about 3/4 throttle or so and stayed there for about a min to a min and a half a group of us all had the same speed with in about 4 mph the bikes were 02 r6, 01 r1, 05 636, 06 600rr, and i think a 08 or 09 kawi 600r.

i could have went to rev limit just didnt want to push my bike any harder the speed did what we needed it to do so no reason to take more risk then needed.

gears vs speed i know first and second are dead on maybe off by 1 to 2 mph at the max. but i can speed check the rest tomorrow.
1st 71
2nd 121
3rd 138 ish
4th 14x ish
5th 15x ish
6th 160 ish

edit: speeds were a little off started cheching this morning on the way to work

Fact. Seen it myself. Bear in mind 1st gear is REEEEAAAALLLLLLL wide on Hondas. You're not gonna redline at 160 in 2nd. 2-6 are very close ratio gears.

My old turbo busa had 305hp at the wheel and better aerodynamics and it maxed at 228mph. Theoretical speed was 232mph with gearing so most likely tire slip ate the other 4mph.

And dunno what you peeps are smokin about inaccurate GPS ... the three I've owned were accurate to within 1/10 of a knot. It would only give a read out if it had a signal and once it locked on to the signal it was extremely accurate.
