How do you 'contend' that Chris? If you had a mil and wanted to make a street bike that fast, why couldn't you?

It's not really that hard. GP bikes cost beaucoup $ because they are light, fast, handle like crazy, etc. If all you want to do is go fast in a str8 line, all you need is HP. Hayabusa is almost there and you can get somewhere on the order of 300hp out of that motor with a turbo.

205? done deal.

Yeah, I agree w/Derek -- 205 on relatively straight roads not a real big problem as long as you don't also require the light weight, durability, and fine handling like the GP bikes require.
