I have a GPS mounted on the Busa with ram mounts, and I have seen a GPS-verified 170mph in 5th gear at redline.
Unfortunately, the crosswind got to the point that I wasn't able to get into 6th and see how much further I could take it safely. She was pulling very strong through 5th, so I am curious how much more is there. This test was completed at a top secret high desert testing facility, etc. etc.

Yea so much for the "gentleman's agreement" of 186.. My 2000 'Busa did just under 200 with a pipe,power commander and air filter. Besides,a lot of that depends on gearing,take one tooth off the rear sprocket of any of those bikes and voila'... |

I thought we were talking top end here.... BTW I disagree sometimes you can lower your quarter times by moving some of the off the line spin to a higher top speed in a lower gear. |
