what, you think i don't mean it? my ducati tops out at just over 130MPH (one tooth smaller in front and one tooth larger in back). and that was on curves in weber canyon on I84. see below for a link to google maps (mountain green past devil's slide). i could feel the rear wheel skipping on the cracks in the poured cement of the freeway.
my 951, well.... i topped it out in 4th gear. 125MPH, indicated. i felt that going into fifth and continuing the experiment was just asking for trouble.
