Default 05 GSXR 1000 Top Speed?

How fast can it go with a 140lb rider?

Thanks, Frankie

with a good tail wind? I'd say roughly fast enough to scatter your remains over the next 1-2 miles of asphault. hehe.

They are restricted to 186mph... like all of the bikes capable of going faster.

was this post made for Bobby? If so, man, seriously, do NOT fuck around with your life like that until you are damn sure you know EXACTLY what you are getting yourself into. I can tell you I only topped out my CBR600 three times in the 4 years that I've owned one. It IS a rush, but you also realise what exactly tunnel vision is and how fast objects approach. Again DO NOT fuck around with your life. Ask yourself this simple question. If you were to wreck and actually live through it, most likely in handicapped state of some form, could you honestly look back and say to yourself "it was worth it"? If the answer is no then there you go.
