Tested top speed of an 05 6R was 162 mph or 260 kph.

PB mag in the UK clocked one at just over 170 MPH (standard).

Rev limiter as in 15 grand in 6. No proof unfortunately, just remember the strange sensation of the thing suddenly dying for a second, then picking back up, then dying, etc.

I saw 210km/h at the racetrack on my 2000 ZX6R, possibly went faster but was too busy taking a corner to check - bike is essentially standard
