My speedo displayed 165 mph. I was with a 04 GSXR 600, 05 Kawi 636, late 90's GSXR 750, and 05 R1. We were all close to each other going about 80 when the R1 decided to romp on it. All of us stayed somewhat close until 140 ish, then the R1 started to pull ahead fairly quickly. I'm sure that I was not doing 165 though due to speedos being off from the factory. Several of the other riders said their guages displayed 170-190 mph.

I had mine up at 148 once. Fast enough that it got a little squirrely on me. Was with my buddy who was on his '03 R1 at the time and said his speedo read 140ish. Probably could have pushed it a little further, but backed it off. The speeds do all look the same over 110 anyway in my opinion. I do about 200mph pretty often while I am at work for fun, but that's not on a bike!!!

156 indicated. Havent had it up that high in awhile. I agree with everyone else, 115-150 no difference in the way it looks, but i gotta say, the rush that the wind shaking you up gives you at 150 compared to 115, its pretty damn fun

im a little skeptical on this number. unless there was one hell of a gust of wind, or you --- i dunno. seems kinda out there, esp for a 02 f4i

ORIGINAL: Stephens

I have a 2002 F4i, and the fastest that I have went was a 142mph and I was at 9,000 rpms. I redline at 14K, what is the maximum speed can this bike go? I have done nothing to the bike for performance, its all stock. How fast have you taken it?

Skeptical? Well, there was no wind that day, and I weigh in at 140 lbs, so I don't see how this could be skeptical. But who knows right? maybe I was doing 190 mph and my speedometer is broken, lol.

Lucky bastard I guess after a while the thrill wears off but I'd love to try my hand at that at least once before I die.
