CBR 1000 Hurricane...stroked to 1200cc, higher comp pistons, full D&D setup, Apex'i filter on a custom ram-air box, lots of carb and ignition tweaking (not sure what all was done), down one in the rear/up one in front, 3" longer swing arm, front loaded, lowered about 1.5", shark tale (solo bike). With the lighter fuel cell and ditched un-needed weight, she weighed 380lbs wet. I got up to 178mph in between Huntsvilled and Conroe TX on I45. Ridiculously fast. Looking at the differnce between 20mph and 40mph, I have a hard time imagining 205.

...I will say, though, after 160 it doesn't really matter. Depending on your eye-sight, tunnel vision starts to take effect around 140mph and speeds beyond that just kinnd blur all together...
