Yeah he's an S but he was still pulling strong, I even saw 175 on my old 996Bp on a private road many years ago with a bit of regearing, would think a 998Bp would have more poke that a 996Bp though

if i wanted top end i would have kept the fireblade..........187mph......who uses that on the road??

just wanted to know what it would do!

Why then?

look at moto gp how often is the fastest bike through the trap the winner?

exactly andy......i'm agreeing with u mate. was just curious as to what topend speed i would lose against my mates jap fours. when i had the 748 very few of my mates could stay with it on the right track/road, i'm no joey dunlop but that was the way it was. it's about handleing corner speed and confidence......for me anyway. the blade was to fast and quite often headed for the hedges.....not very confidence inspiring!!

cheers for the offer trevor.....might take u up on that mate

i have seen a indicated 160 on my 853 with a 14/37 set up. my speedo is fairly accurate as i was doing a indicated 39mph and my mates 05 r1 was showing the same on his lcd clocks.

at the end of the day its not the top speed that counts it s how quick you get it there in my eyes
