i've hit 103 in first on my 1000 a couple of times just to do it, but i believe a stock 1098(not "S" or "R") tops out in 6th at about 165 according to motorcyclist issue "0-180 all out,fast as you can " damn good issue right there,

I do it all the time just to make sure I am all the way up.

yeah, I've hit (indicated) well over 100 but by the time you take into account the 10-15% odo error you're at around 100


ok, how about 1/4 mile trap speeds? I'm not the best at it, haven't done it much but I've hit 140

Well unlike you flatland folks in Kansas and Oklahoma, I don't have much room to find out. Our roads actually turn here. And we like it.
