Suzuki's History of Racing Part 1- Part 2- Part 3-
Mine must be pretty close to the 99/00s. It dynoed twice @ 159 something and 160 something. This was on a BMW race shop dyno in San Jose. I also had my (then) two CBXs dynoed. Their numbers were right in line with several published reports so I have no doubt the numbers were correct. All three bikes were run one after the other. With time to practice launches I have no doubt I could get it to run the quarter in the 10s and I weigh in around 240. It really does haul azz! 
Top speed? The couple times I’ve looked the needle was backing away from the 175-180 area. I’ve only hit the limiter in the first four gears. One time, a scary moment, a side wind blew a rolling tumbleweed into my front wheel somewhere near 1875. A needle got stuck under a fork seal or wiper and I had to get new fork seals. The wind blew me clear over into the next lane. Did I say scary?

Yep, the wind can do amazing things.
I had a '94 zx7 with alot of mods, and it should've been capable of a realistic 150-155mph.
Whatever it would do, I had it topped out, and was running from a big and fast moving thunderstorm.
When I came out from under an overpass, I felt the front end and immediately the whole bike get light.
Within a split second I went from the right side of the right lane, to the center of the left lane.
It was so quick that it took me a moment to realize just what had happened.
It was a really cool experience.

Geez, how did I miss this? “1875”
I meant to say 175. I’m surprised no one razzed me about going 1,875 miles an hour.

I saw "near 1875" and figured it was a road number somewhere on you travels.....never occurred to me it was your speed.

I'm calling UNDERSTATEMENT on this one!

My ram-air modded, flashed B-king was, we'll call it 'windy'...and you're spraying nitrous!
Lol. Yeah buddy, it gets really bad. Almost can't keep my steady. Might be better with my new Arai than my old Shoei.
