I had it up to.......... faster than I needed to be going. I will bet krash ison to something. Who cares??? Are you planning a trip across country at top speed? Are you going to try to impress your friends and want to be accurate? I have a speedohealer and with my sprokets -1+2 I hit 140mph AT THE TRACK!!!!! I don't have my healer completely calibrated though so it could be a little off. Best bet just tell your (insert who you want to impress here) you hit 150mph. On another note why the f** does the speedohealer have a top speed recall. I hooked it up and ran the wire and read that and got pissed off. I wasted time to hook it up because I didn't know what it did. I can't belive they have that on there it is so stupid.

I have hit a indicated 165ish MPH on my F4 and it still had lots of grunt left. But I do not suggest this action nor recommend it. At 100+ mph it doesnt take but a split second for sumtin (anything) to send your(our) stoopid asses flying thru the air to our deaths, our mothers emotional break downs, our friends n families lose, etc.

Please be careful out there guys. I have seen/read about way too many deaths n crashes this years and the season has just really started.

I don't plan on doing it a second time.

Didn't even plan for it the first (only) time.

But a romp from 80-140 and back doesn't take hours of crucial planning on a modern 600, just a chemical imbalance in your brain and less than 30 seconds of holding your breath.

Some of you guys have twisty roads that are fun at 30-40-50mph. Here in Florida we just have mile after mile of flat, broad, open, boring blacktop. A little speed relieves the pain temporarily.

Oh I/we understand as how else do you think we know what ours will run?? When I did it, it was on a empty (except my GF following in my Jeep) seperated 4 lane. And didnt stay at it for long at all (GF had a cow as it was lol) few seconds at most then it was back down to 70ish. Since I do good to break 100mph n if I do its not more than 120mph for a few seconds (usually passing a line of slowass cars on the first passing zone I get). And thats rare. 99% of the time I just follow traffic even in the twisties. Meeting RVs headon in a turn isnt my ideal of fun.
