You guys may have seen this already, but see my question at the bottom.

"Nov 20/99 The new Kawasaki ZX-12R set a world speed record for the fastest accelerating production bike on the planet. Kawasaki drag bike racer, Ricky Gadson, produced a 9.52 second, 147 mph 1/4 mile. The bike was completely stock, the front forks were adjusted by 5cm and the rear suspension dropped 10 cm. The bike crossed the line at nearly 150 mph, and was still in third gear. With three more to go, this rocket should top 200 mph."

150 mph in 3rd gear? Is this even feasible or doable?
