140 mph on an interstate, that is insane.

You don't go that fast do you Jay?

Fastest I ever got up to was 155. It's like coming up on parked cars @ 100 mph. You better make sure you have clear road ahead.

I dunno, but I've heard at that speed every little bump feels like a mini-jump (100+)

Any truth to that?

I had my Gixxer at 184 and was bouncing it off the rev limiter. Shortly thereafter I sold it just so I could see my children grow up.

I hit 67 on my Ninja 250 going to lunch yesterday, but it seemed a lot faster. Smile

At that speed you're just skimming the top.Laughing I've had my Z1000 up to 150 on a nice straight stretch of interstate & it was rock solid at that speed. That's the trouble with these new sport bikes. They achieve that speed so effortlessly that you can get yourself in trouble quite easily. Hitting a rabbit at 150 would be catastrophic.

I just got my 08 a little over a week ago. So far I think the thing is a lot of fun, I like it.
