fastest you've had your fz6r

That's what the speedometer said. I live in California and we have huge open roads. The bike always has felt good, very solid at high speed.

Please dont be testing top speeds on public roads people... You do not want to crash at those speeds. The chances of you surviving are slim to none. One hit of a car, a guard rail, a tree, a rock, etc and you are done for. Does not matter what gear you are wearing at those speeds. Tracks have sand run offs, grass, etc.

And God forbid you take anyone else out with you. Seriously.

Well I'm not saying I do or do not try to achieve top speed on public roads, but if I did, I would do it on a long, dry, well lit, well maintained, straight stretch of traffic free highway that I was very familiar with. And I would have gone around 135mph according to my stock geared speedo.

I would also be well aware of the risks involved and being a reasonably bright adult, would make the decision to go balls to the wall only after careful consideration and fully prepared to live (or not) with the consequences of my decision.

Thank you Jay for those words of wisdom. I hope everyone takes it seriously. When I was in my 20's I too thought I was invincible. I worked in a motorcycle shop and saw so many guys that thought accidents only happened to others loose their lives or were seriously injured. The faster you go the faster unexpected things happen. I'm going to be 63 next month and still ride. Please be extra careful when watching out especially for our most likely worst encounter a car. They always win any confrontation. ATGATT.

In Alaska? Seriously? What about the Alaska State Troopers who are all over tv? How much road do you think you would need to hit 135, if you were of the mind to do so?

135 bone stock and that was all she had to give.

ok, general consensus is our bike will do 130ish...

tired of seeing this thread pop up over and over, nobody thinks any better or worse of you for what "top speed" you've had the bike at.

The forum and moderators do not condone speeding on the public roads. You want to seee how fast you can go, go to your local track and have fun at a track day, you'll learn the real fun is in the turns anyways.

nothing else to see here, move along.
thank you.
