You wanna see boring?? I live in Snowmans Land, no corners to be found. I'm a bit of a wimp and have only gone 172kph and that was only for a very short time

We have to travel at least 45-50 minutes to get to ANY twisties, one good thing, you can see a cop coming WAY before his radar can get you lol

PS those squares that look like city blocks? NOPE farm land

So when I first bought the bike and had never had a "fast" bike before, and was yet to obtain many of the experiences I've had since, I went 13XMPH here:

somewhere around there anyway....out in farm country where you can see forever and would probably be hard pressed to hurt anyone and/or get help if you needed it.

My top speed was 143 @5000 foot elevation, at sea level she would have gone a little faster (maybe)

On my 2005 FZ6 I have broke the 140 Mph mark. I know it'll go faster, but no courage.

I have a 2004 Model and rode it to Turner Falls, Oklahoma once.
Got behind a Corvette and BMW that were cooking. Looked down and
saw 110 MPH, there was still plenty left. Afraid and Okie DPS officer
would see us and backed off. Seems to me the FZ6 is geared too low.
Has anyone ever changed out to a smaller rear sprocket?

Wavex · 08-20-2008, 10:10 AM

I saw 159mph on the stock speedo... real speed was about 145mph... I don`t think it`ll go much faster than that.

I have a problem with my bike that when I go over 80 my seat gets wet

and it’s not confortable

so I try to limit my speed until I get the bike fixed.

Had her at 100mph today

Amazing considering it's restricted to 33bhp

Hey partner, I've rode those very roads. not much of a selection here in Oklahoma. Originally from Abilene Tx. Looking to make a Talihina run in the next couple of weeks/months, if interested let me know.

Just topped the 100 mph mark for the first time this morning on my way to work. Had a guy on a sportbike pull up next to me and we rode down the highway for a few miles, he then took off doing a wheelie at 80-90 mph. I let him get a little way ahead of me and figured if he could do that and not see any flashing lights I could open it up a bit and ended up going about 110mph for a short time.
