170+ in the STi (unsure of exact speed but was wrapped past 160mph speedo for quite a while…several times… oh and on the tires/6th gear ratio it was hypothetically capable of 188mph at 7100rpm redline)… ~166 indicated on my 600RR a few days prior to its unwanted 50+ mph endo.

Saw 155 on my uncles Ducatti last summer…I found out quick how uncomfortable I am being completely exposed (aside from gear) to the open air at those speeds.

YFZ450 @ 90 doubt it. stock gearing and a 26" dia studded out rear on the ice at Lanzies its it 85 tapped. and it was sketchy as fuck, the air was lifting the front end from the plastics. Stock off the floor tapped its a 70mph machine.

KTM625 hits 112 with more in it, BUT the aerodynamics and lack of steering damper makes it really dumb to try.
