No idea what you just said Usual Suspect, I am assuming you are pissed as it's about 2am in the UK now hahahaha

In that clip that Lee Posted though the guy is either a REALLY crap rider or the turbo is just toooooo hard to control, I have seen a standard wheelbase turbo Gixxer 1000 and it didn't look that bad. Though the guy is a good rider......

I like this vid of a zx10r, says the speedo won't read past 189 but pretty sure it's just off the 180mph top speed limiter (note in 5th gear too) as I did the same on my zx10r and it read 180 odd in 5th and wouldn't go anymore with limiter in place. Amazingly you can hit the top speed limiter in 5th before the physical rev limit.

Makes me miss mine even more after watching that. I've had mine pinned in every gear until the rev limit (not just the shift light) cuts the ignition and it's true madness.. over 100mph in 1st, 130 odd in 2nd, 150 odd in 3rd, 170 odd in 4th, 180 top speed limiter in 5th and another gear to go.

They make something like an older model R1 feel slow over 100mph
