I just hit 272km (169 miles) on my bone stock 02 R1.

The bike could have gone more but I couldn't withstand the extreme woobling of the handlebar and the unbelievably small wind protection...

So what's your top speed like?

Speedo said 189mph, but we know that it was more close to actually 170. I pounded her off the rev limiter in every gear, well except 6th, it seemed to wanna go more!! I'm looking for the camcorder tape I have of it, allthough it's very bad quality and it was at night. I'll post if ya guys wanna see....
