200+ indicated on the 'Busa. It was a 2000 model before they speed limited them. I had dropped a couple teeth on the rear sprocket, air filter, full exhaust, Ivan's and a PCIII. It felt like it was still pulling when I let go of the throttle!

actual 140 at the drag strip

indicated 170 elsewhere.

I've gone about 150. There are plenty of near-deserted 2-lane straight highways out here to get up to speed in relative safety.

115... Not bad for a cruzer, eh?

Of course, it took me an hour to get there...

150 ish on the street

slow as fuck on the track

HokieDNA01 · 06-15-2009, 09:36 PM

150 indicated on a back country road that was like a 5mile long straight shot with no cars. Buddy of mine took off on his FJR turbo couch and I just couldn't let him get away.

Sucks at that speed with a tank bag on and you can't tuck very well.

I'm not so sure I'm buying the slow as fuck on the track part

derf · 06-15-2009, 09:39 PM

about 140ish on the PA turnpike

Cutty72 · 06-15-2009, 09:42 PM

Drag Strip = 125.95 mph

Track 155 redline in 5th gear on front straight

Street, 160ish or so.

Speaking of dragstrip, I'm hoping to get my 1st 1/4mi time next month in Charlotte at the Zymax dragstrip. I have run at our local 1/8th mile track quite a few times.
