whats the fastest you've had your fz up to?
during and after break in?

123 MPH here... still on break in.

jrf · 06-14-2008, 06:44 PM

86 mph not all that fast but theres not to many places I can wind it up around here

What am I saying, 86 is still pretty quick in my opinion

today i went up to 235km/h on 5th gear at a very available highway section...im not proud of it..it took less then 30 secs i was back on my regular cruising speed after that

Yeah, I only got up to 90mph for a short time. Lane was ending and commited myself to an openeing ahead of a pack of cages.

During a Country ride last week I took it up to a Buck 20 and was in total amazeent of the reserve power still left.. these bikes are really quick.

i had mine up to 146. country road with noone around. only did it once but it felt like it wanted to rip me off the bike. it still felt like it had a bit more to give too.

Last month did a ride with some friends. 1st slot was a FZ1, 2nd slot ZZR600, I was in 3rd slot. I was busy watching my position and only saw my speedo once as it past 125 MPH. My friend on the FZ1 said we topped out at 145 MPH. I'll have to take his word on that. Did 120 MPH durning break in last year.

I'm at 800 miles on this FZ6 and so far the fastest I've gotten it to is 109mph. It feels like nothing at all, and happened as I passed a PU truck.

I thought, "Damn, I got by him quickly." and saw 109.

Fast little bike.

Every time we have this topic i get flamed for telling on myself but as for my new 06 only about 130mph my old 05 (RIP) topped out at 166mph, keep in mind thats indicated.

I bought my bike in California which has more emission stuff on it so I'm not able to get up as fast as some, but last month when I was at the track, I was about to get up to mid-140.
