I would'nt say to the limit, but to 185 or so that was fast enough for me. Now I have it geared so i doubt I'll ever see any faster..
 
Well... I got my own Busa since the last time I posted on this thread... I burried the needle at 185mph, and kept going until the GPS read out 183mph.... It is fast.... but there's always room for improvement cool.gif
 
All stock 2000.145 on one wheel through 3rd gear.Hit 200 on the speedo on the top end run.Got a gps for next spring.I usually try to beat my last years record ever since I had my zx 11. I was stuck at 190 for a while. Now i'm stuck on 200.Been to it a couple times but had to let off eatin up the road to fast and either catch up to traffic or a kink in the road is coming up way to fast.I bought mine new and since I bought I still havent topped it out. It has to be the right time and place. So I wait.I'm not one to just go out and see if i can find the perfect stretch to max it out. If i come across it and way far ahead looks clear off i go. BE SAFE GUYS

GPS verified 159 with one tooth down in the front, 220lbs of me, 50+ lbs of road-trip gear, tankbag, tail pack and beetle bags. Could have gone faster, but the oh-sh*t factor played a big part, as well as running out straight road.
 
I've had mine up to 150. I was surprised because the sensation of speed was no different than doing 100. The bike is so stable. I''d like to take it to the limit, but I haven't found a stretch of road that I think is safe enough.

A little over 170 indicated, just got it up there, then backed off.
 
Ive redlined 6th gear with 17 front and 39 rear sprocket, if Im not mistaking a factory gear set up tops out at 192 or 193, so I had to have been going faster than that, hey how about fastest wheelies, lol Ive been in 4th gear doing 160 on a stand up

Redline of 11k rpms would be about 211 mph with 17/39. That would take a few engine mods or a good mountain downgrade.
 
Done about 125 Miles (200 KmpH) ... Have the bike for 15 days now! I know Its not a whole lot of speed, but for the kinda roads that I have in My city, anything more than that is disaster wink.gif
 
I have a new personal high now... 140 MPH biggrin.gif

I know ... I know im slow compared to you people wink.gif
 
Finding a good place is the hard part, getting to 150 is easy getting to 180 is another story, 183mph is the fast I have been. Need to install a tre some day to feel to take it to the next level.
 
It's 45 miles for me to go to work via X-way, so I get a lot of full-on blasts for a couple of miles at a time until I see any traffic...185+ more times than I can count. God I love this bike! Smooth as glass!

Had my GF over 175 a few times...not bad for a couple of old farts!
