The most I have heard of is 205mph. A serious "no fear" biker.
True, I dont know?
What I have seen is while doing 130mph / 210 kmh on my 1098, another 1098 passed me, I felt as if I was looking for parking.he he.. He confirmed afterwards he was clocking 165mph / 265kmh. ........believable.....

I was led to believe that the bike cannot go 205mph with stock drivetrain. Even with 6th gear, the engine will redline and top out before reaching that speed even if it somehow is getting abnormal amounts of power or you somehow turned your bike into a feather with 160hp. The bike needs different sprocket(s) or some kind of different gear ratio to do so, because if my calculations are correct you would need to be revving the bike at over 15,000 rpm to reach that speed in 6th and the redline is 14,000 correct?
My brain hurts. Those are just estimates by the way, noone bark at me! Just going on memory because I havn't ridden my bike in a while.

If you use the gear commander data theoretical top speed in 6th is 180.6 miles an hour but changng sprokets should push you past the magic 187.5+ (300+ kph).
Ive had mine up to 222kph in forth with my wife on the back with first rev warning light on my wife was buzzing for hours afterwards he he  BTW red line is 10700rpm |

The fastest I ever taken mine was 152mph, would have tried to go faster but there was traffic ahead.
