Had the dog up around 130mph yesterday. I say about because I was at 4 grand at @120mph pegged and went to 4.5. I have a mastiff, very stable at high speed, mastiff's laid out like a drag bike long and low for stability at high speed. I'd say might top out @ about 160 or so, won't attempt that untill I do a tear down over the winter and bring her out in the spring.

This is worth noting; I have a 10 mile straight run of 4 lane highway near my home that has very little traffic.
 
I have a friend that has a Busa and I jumped on him on a long straight away. I was wide open, he said we were going 138mph......of course he was only in 3ard gear. The dog didn't have much left in it.

I had my mastiff to 169.7 ......confirmed on GPS...that's where it hit the rev limiter at around 6600 or 6800 or whatever they're set at.........i got in a grudge/pissing match with a couple of guys on rice burners....one on a ninja 600....went past him in the top end of 5th gear and kept on pulling him, the other guy was on a R1 yamaha....went past him and then hit the rev limiter....thought it blew up!.... fastest i've ever been on a bike at the time....since then, I have been 195-200MPH on my ZX-14.....but that bike is built for high speed....

Damn 169mph! Thought it would be about 160. I'll probably do it one time just because.

:whoop:Wow, that's faster than my Triumph Daytona 675 in the mid 150 to 160 mph range!:2thumbs:

I believe I would have to take my Ridgeback to a smooth track to find out it's top speed. Something to look forward to in the future.:cheers:
