That gsxr 1100 of yours was no slouch.
I rode years ago with a fellow who rode a tuned GSXR 1100 ...always at the highest speeds possible. A speed freak!
He said that he would hook his feet under the foot pegs to keep from being ripped off the bike.
He claimed to have gone well over 190 mph (indicated).
We were in Nevada on a pool-table-flat hwy., I was on my '88 FZR1000 (high geared) @ ~ 160 mph, and he pulled away...and markedly so.
I was never into high speeds, myself. Too intimidating for me.
I'm an old fashioned 'canyon carver'...and still alive.
