what is the fastest you have had your Z too?

I had mine up to 135 140 right in there. It was kinda windy out and it felt a little nervous to me so I backed it down. Now on my bikes I will top them out at 186 or a little more and it feels super planted. I would rather go fast on a new sport bike than in our cars. I raced for seven years so I have alot more confidence in riding a bike fast versus a car. These cars are very fast though that's for sure.

What the Z needs at the higher speeds is down force and proper suspension.
Once your start going above 130 the suspension is off and you need down force to push the a$$ down.

I'm sorta the opposite with this. 150mph in my Z was no big deal. The most I could push on a bike was on a 05 busa at 165mph now that was some scary ****. I don't think i will try those kinds of speeds on a bike again, probably keep it under 120mph
