A number of years ago, I owned a 2008 Suzuki GSX-R 1000. I spent around $5,500 building the engine. After the engine build, the bike dyno'd at 195 HP at the rear wheel. This bike was crazy fast. Would power wheelie in 4th gear.

Late one evening, I rode across the Howard Franklin Bridge between Tampa and St. Petersburg, FL with the speedo pegged at 197 MPH. Figure I had to be doing at least 180 MPH?
