How fast as in 1/4 mile times or top speed? I've seen 145 indicated on mine with alot of good pull left but there is a pretty good margin for error at those speeds. As much as 10% I've heard. As for 1/4 mile times... I'm not sure but I THINK someone has posted them on wikipedia (as for its reliability I couldn't tell you.) And welcome to CBRF!

I believe the bikes stock w/ stock gearing top out at around indicated 160, like jp said they normally indicate about 10% high though.

Well this depends on the year. I believe the later year F4i's top out around 145 from what I've heard.

But ah, how fast can you take that turn is the more important question.

165. By "Honda". The speedo does go up that high, is it accurate or not, I have no idea. But it's something you should try out. If you do, you've been warned.

165 if you hit 14,000rpm in 6th gear, and yes any stock F4i will do that.
