15000 rpm!

Eric Bostrom's '03 ZX 7R didn't even rev that high!

Edit: nice bike, btw!

So I take it after this 15k rpm run your engine went BOOM and you slowly rolled to a stop. Even the new supersport 600's redline at around 15k, don't tell me a ZX-7R is anywhere near that.

Exactly my point. You got something in the engine room that he didn't?

Your tach is as far off as your speedo, my fellow rider!
And I saw Mladin take a rear flat at 150mph last year too. He didn't save it, though.
