I don't know if you ride or not but I have a pretty
much stock R6 and I did a roll on with one of my
friends around here who was BPU (approx 400 RWHP I
think)on our way to the dragstrip. We went from 40 to
about 150 on the highway and I held even with him.
Even he was surprised at that one. It gets scary in a
hurry going that fast on a bike with a small screen,
you cant really keep your head from shaking and thus
cant see very well. 

I have alot of people roll up next to me itching to
race and I never will unless I know them on a road
that I know. They slide over a little and tap you, or
you hit a rock or pothole at those speeds and then
instantly, game over.
