187mph
I roadraced motorcycles for years (1997-2002), the fastest speed I've ever seen on my speedo was 187mph when drafting during Formula USA practice at Portland International Raceway in 2001 on a 2001 GSXR600 racebike that made 118hp (at wheel) and weighed 365lbs with 1/2 gallon of fuel.
I've also had three 100+ mph crashes with the fastest being over 140mph when I got collected by three crashing bikes behind me coming into turn 1 at Spokane raceway during the start of 600 superbike. Only a broken rib from that little bit of fun. The other was about 120mph at Portland when duking it out for 3rd place in 600 supersport and an errant outside pass attempt by the other racer had him clip my front brake lever and flipped me and my bike at about 120mph. Good fun. 3rd degree AC seperation of the shoulder from that little excursion.

Sorry Im throwing a major Bullshirt flag on this one..
As I have competetively raced 600 class for 5 years in CMRA/CCS
we have radar guns at the track and I have never ever seen a 600 do 187...
total horsehit.. thats the lands of the modified 1000+s
sorry man but spew that crap somewhere else as no 600 even heavily modified which would BE ILLEGAL to race in a 600 class can get that fast..
even the Pro modified 600s arnt that fast..
look up some real world stats from world superbike before you go tryign to Lie about stuff..

Read my post, I never said I was going 187, I said my speedo said 187. Everyone should know that ALL speedo's are off as much as 10% at those speeds. The fastest 600 supersport bikes at Portland have been radar'd at 160-ish. I think that the Pro AMA 600 supersports are under 170 at even Daytona. The only 600 supersport bikes that maybe could maybe hit 180mph are the World Supersport bikes that have very lax modification rules where they typically get over 140hp at the wheel. Trust me, I know all about the capabilities of racebikes having raced everything from a SV650, ZX6R, old 600 Hurricane, GSXR600, GSXR1000, YZF600 at over a half dozen tracks and several Pro events. I have only a handful of wins under my belt, but I was a consistant top 5 finisher in 4 classes including 750 Supersport and 750 Superbike on my GSXR600 with both WMRRA and OMRRA.

Volvo makes some of the most stable cars in high speed.

122 MPH in my old mans 1994 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi... hell, that was almost 10 years ago. I think there's a speed regulator built into the computer, but that's the fastest I could get it.

Um Wtf? you have a speedo on your race bike? and if your a newb enough to have one WTF were you doign LOOKING DOWN while pegged on top end... while in a RACE? stay the hell off my class then youd get run the hell over here...
CCS tech rules speedos must be taped over or removed...
if you had time to even glance down you were not going 187 or even 160 becasue you must be a newb...
or a Novice... I race expert... white plates in CCS....
and looking down for any reason unless pulled over is a newb mistake that will get you killed or wrecked..
if you want to compare race bikes and wins then bring it.. over the last 4 years i have won 20 first and second place finishes for sprints... my team has finished first and second 3 times for Endurance racing..
our current race bike team owns 3 200 GSXR 600s 2 2004 GSXR 750s and 2 2004 GSXR 1000s...
all dedicated race bikes all identicle paint and parts...
we are sponcered by a rather large Suzuki dealership down here and the team has produced 2 riders that went pro AMA within the last 5 years...
my personal race bike owned by me is a CBR600RR 2003 model.
my street bike is a CBR929RR..
I have had over 15 bikes in my 33 years.. worked as a Race Team/Shop mechanic for 4 years before I got my race license. so I think Ive earned the right to throw the BS flag on this one...
Speedo on the race track... nice one newb...
