195 indicated so I guess that would translate to circa 170mph considering innaccuracies and losses.

All through Germany.

128 indicated on the back wheel was a little scarier. A big plume of smoke was emitted on landing the front 2CT according to my good friend who was following nearby.

Nice.

155 in a car (BMW M3) not quite the same though.

Ah you're kidding. I bet it felt awesome. I'm jealous. Fetch it round here and give us a go.

No problem Stu.

I'd rather sort this at the other place.

192 indicated on an 08 R1 using both wheels.

140 indicated on just the back wheel.

Completely standard bike with no mods at all. i thought that was pretty impressive. The downside was when i was WOT doing the 192 the red oil light came on and i nearly crapped myself thinking my engine was about to seize, i dropped it down to 170 and it went out (thank god) but the weird thing was at 170 i felt as if i could have got off and walked if felt so slow after doing 192.

Yea right.

My 57 reg R1 Hits the limiter at 138 in 3rd on the back wheel.

Why does your story sound like it's been written by a board teenager on his School holidays.
