205 mph indicatd/10500 rpm. bike pulled well to that point and seemed to have maxed. If I held it open for a few more seconds it might of gained a little, need more road.

Sorry fellas, Turbo Rick wins...
his is official, radar-verified, SCTA Record.

Mine (totally unofficial, not to mention illegal) was spot-on 200 indicated, still pulling, started catching up to traffic. I'll call it around 180 actual. I think it has 10 mph left, but need a LONG empty piece of road, to get that last 10.

After reading all your responses I decided to take my bike to a "top speed" and let me start by saying -----you guys either have some big balls are small brains. I went out with a friend on a 996 super hawk and just hit it. I manged to get to 170 but I bitc*** out and let off the throttle. I have never been that fast before in ANYTHING. wish I had more room, but in San Francisco there aren't to many straight aways. Ill try again later.

I just want to know if the scenery on the sides of the road gives you all that same Science Fiction visual effect that was on every Star Trek episode when the Enterprise went into warp mode.
First time I experienced it, it made me laugh, and I nearly got my head ripped off in the slipstream.

you become little more than a hot ember pushing through a tunnel .
