They always get out a little ahead of me but i stay in it and pull them in. When i say ahead i mean they put their back wheel on my front bumper. I dont' have picts with the new wheels but i got one with my black 10 spokes and i have one of my engine on a stand. That picture is before i got my boom tubes, the pipe are coming off spintechs, and on the stand...that was on thursday, the oil cooler was not one yet but the new cam was in and ready to go 
try my ZX9 ........I'd never see you!

When i say they run out of steam i mean they don't have the extreme acceleration as they do from 0-120. If you were lived around here then we could run them.

Not all bikes runout of steam at 130mph. An average 600 is gonna top out at 150-160mph which is well within reach of stock or lightly modded f bodys and corvettes top speed. Liter class bikes lke a zx9, zx10, r1 ect will usually top out around 170-180. Then there are the hyper bikes like busa's and zx12r's. From the factory they are governed, with it removed it as totally possible to see 190mph. I killed a gixxer 600 before in the ta, he should have won but he couldn't ride.

He doesn't mean that bikes don't go past 130 you dorks, he means they don't pull as hard up top, which is true.
Before one of my buddies died on his 2000 ZX9-R, I raced him from about 80 to 175 in a RX-7 I used to have and he had about three cars on me until about 140 or so and it evened out and I actually started walkin back up on him around 160-65. I got within a car of him at 175 and we let out due to no more road!
Hey AmMsl, you'd better run faster than a buck twenty-nine to make that claim with me.

We are going home (for XMAS) to get the 65 Falcon
If it wasn't freezing out I'd through the 9 in the back and stop by
