155 is a speeding record....i did 140 on my YZF-600....(not an R6, but its close enough)...i dunno once you pass 120 on a bike it all feels the same.

A motorcyclist was arrested late Monday after authorities said he reached speeds estimated at 160 mph on Interstate 75 in Collier County.
A Florida Highway Patrol aircraft conducting speed operations on Alligator Alley at about 6 p.m. Monday clocked the motorcycle going 141 mph about 10 miles east of the Collier Boulevard interchange. A patrol unit on the ground was notified and tried to stop the motorcyclist, authorities said.
The motorcycle slowed to about 25 mph, but wouldn’t stop, the highway patrol said.
Another trooper conducting an unrelated traffic stop then stepped into traffic and directed the motorcyclist to pull over using hand gestures, authorities said. The motorcycle switched lanes, then accelerated away from the trooper, the highway patrol said.
Officials in the aircraft kept watch on the motorcycle while troopers on the ground were directed to stay about two miles behind. The motorcycle continued west and north on Interstate 75 at speeds exceeding 100 mph, authorities said.
After leaving the construction zone at the unopened Golden Gate Parkway interchange, the motorcyclist reached speed estimated at 160 mph as he passed traffic down the highway’s center and the emergency lane, the highway patrol said.
The motorcycle then exited at the Pine Ridge Road interchange and stopped for a red light. Troopers on the ground entered the exit ramp out of the sight of the motorcyclist, authorities said.
The light turned green and the motorcyclist turned westbound onto Pine Ridge Road. The motorcyclist then turned into the RaceTrac store at 3725 Pine Ridge Road, where troopers on the ground were directed to make the arrest.
The motorcyclist, Miguel Enrique Rodriguez, 21, of Weston, was arrested without incident and charged with unlawful speeding, aggravated fleeing and eluding law enforcement, failure to obey lawful orders, no valid motorcycle license and reckless driving.
The motorcycle was impounded pending forfeiture proceedings.

190hp vs 350hp is a big difference for any machine. so that SLK had to be at least mildy modded or it was in fact a SL.
but good info jeffie. didnt realize the 600cc will fluff out over 100mph. but the new 600s are that fast? i thought that was more 750cc territory (sp).. havent been reading much on bikes lately. still want a 750gxr badly though. =)

600cc bikes run high 10s stock. they also keep up with the new liter bikes from 0-100ish. after 100mph the 600cc bikes run out of pull, they'll still get up to 160-165ish but at a much much much slower rate then a bigger cc bike.
Having a car with some power pull on a 600cc motorcycle after 120mph isnt that hard to do. In fact my friend pulled on my 600cc bike from 100mph. He was driving a 392WHP 350Z. I stayed close to him but I couldnt catch up and pass him.
Add a 2nd passanger and a 600cc bike takes a big hit in the power to weight department. even from 0-100mpg. Its night and day. 2 people on a 600cc bike at 120MPH shouldnt have much pull at all. my lightly modded 350Z should hang with if not pull on it.
With that being said, 600cc bikes are not highway runners. They are ment for track use or back roads.

exactly my point. thank you jeffie. cruising at 120 = not much left for the bike to go. this is an old (around early 90's) FZR 600 yamaha. so, it's not like the new R6.
Dang, i'm sorry i confused everyone. lol but thanks for the clarification.
