I was watching some youtube and the recklessness kind of wore off on me. I found some two-lane blacktop, very little traffic, and was hell bent on seeing one-five-oh or so, but got chicken**** at 120 (hey, I got the bike 4 days ago and my last one was an EX500).

So who here has top ended on their ZX6R or other bike?

Before anyone says anything about being irresponsible, I think eating the road at 90mph on the freeway or fast-moving two-lane blacktop road is no more pleasant than eating it at 150...survival rate for either is minimal. I know people who block out their speedo's so it only goes up to 60mph and then the needle goes behind some eletrical tape or a fabricated cover because they don't want to know how fast they're going, and they consider 60mph and up official coffin-filling speed. But for the record I don't condone breaking the speed limit.

 

I had the throttle pinned on my 03 636 and saw 171 MPH (Indicated). I think it will go just a couple of MPH faster though. Have topped out the 05 yet but did see 155 quick without any problem.

 

Guilty! Gotta love Florida. Straight and flat. Was on my '99 VFR at the time and hit 149 on GPS. Of course my friends on their built liter bikes were long gone...

 

i was on a 10 miles stretch the other day on my 06 636 and had it to 155 and the front end started lifting so i shut it down. but the fastest i have ever been is about 162 when i looked down, i went to pass a car and nothing, passed another and another and another and by the time i looked down i had to pull over i was shaking so bad lol

 

naw ive only seen 157 mph on mine so far, got too scered[&:]

 

Saw 174 indicated on the speedo - which is probably in the low 160's. It was a loooonnng, slightly downhillstraight near the desert. Had it pinned, andwas still climbing very slowly - maybe would've gone2-3 points higher, but shut her down... 'cuz F#K!. After that,Irealized I won'tgo that fast again, swapped the sprockets for more useable power - started doing track days.Haven't been close to those speed on the street since.

 

On one wheel or two? J/K I was out in BFE South Dakota (kind of redundent) and had my in the 160s. Looked in my mirror to see the katana I was riding w/ and he was nowhere to be seen so I peeked at my speedo and just about gave myself a ticket... don't need/want to do that again. BTW I ride an 05 ZZR600. And why are bike speedos so far off?

 

165 indicated with the tach bouncing off the rev limiter in 6th. Just couldn't go any faster[&o].

 

ive seen 174 indicated a few times, and once i got it to 175. that was right at 16k in 6th. and there no was power left.

 

I have an 06 636 with a +1 in the front sprocket. I did 174 in 6th with more room to go. I had an 02 GSX-R 1000 and I hit the gov at 186.
