Do you have a corrected speedo or factory ... Once I put in the speedo healer and calibrated mine I find it much harder to get to the displayed speeds that I was seeing before :a2 start to get above 100 and the correction is 10+mph

I sold a FZ6 to a lady who took it out for a track day but I dont know what she was able to get out of the bike.

The little time I have in triple digits, I feel 140+ has to be real possible ... I read an earlier thread that I thought somoene reported and uncorrected 150 ... that would put us in the 135-140 range ... I am amazed how solid it feels at 100 ...

Lots of open country roads here near the beach
Plus I know plenty of troopers.
I have stretched her out several times. I come from the twin-turbo Supra school of triple digits (168mph best).
I let her howl one coolish morning and it hovered at 152, 153, 154 was the last I saw before I started grabbing binders. I'm figuring this is a good 12-15mph high. I saw some tests somewhere that gave 136mph (I thinks) as the measured top speed on a magazine test. I would think that is calibrated/actual/factual. Plus I've been 150's several times in da cages and this was just too smooth? hehehe

I've had an indicated uncorrected 155mph.
My wife has had hers up to 130...she was right behind me and we ran out of room on that run. She's not a speed freak, but she couldn't resist.
This is where we like to do speed runs....very long bridge with long sight distance. No cops, nothing can jump in front of you. (Ignore bikes, these are old bikes).

She was still pulling (slowly though) at 155 and felt solid as a rock head on tank, only reason I backed off there was several lorries miles ahead (3 lane motorway) but at that speed you get no second chance so thought better of it.
I think the weather for the day helped, it was very early morning about 3am dry but the air was damp and she felt quite 'lively'. If I top my PB I'll let you know but it's way to risky to try to often
