Interesting being that 267 kph converts to about 165 mph

Not every car is a slug apparently!  I would think 165 is about tops for a 600.  My GSX-R600 and the zx6r we had/have both did about 160ish top speed.

Anne held hers wide open on a long stretch of highway and 160 something was where it started to top out.

I enjoyed outrunning the occasional 600 and 650 in my previous car. However it is A LOT cheaper to just buy a bike in the first place. :D

Unless all the other cars on the road are doing over 100mph they should look like they are standing still when he passes at that speed. Something is not right???

Have a mate at work with a mk i golf that gave carrots to me on my rf 400 (not that impressive), but ALSO my mates gsxr 1000 AND another mates cbr600.

But then, he is running a mk vi gti motor...with an upped boost, remapped and a dsg box. Pushing 209kw. So not THAT surprising. :icon_lol:
