how fast is my 2008 Special edition in mph, with no aftermarket anything its just bone stock

186mph before the governor kicks in!

thanks, so top speed we are talking about 190? there was a bike in LI doing 196 was wondering if it was a zx14

The 1999 hayabusa would top out at 190mph and that’s the fastest (top speed) stock bike ever produced! Stock bikes are no longer allowed to surpass 186mph out of the factory due to a law called the gentleman’s agreement! But with a few simple mods our bikes can easily do 190mph+

Things like top speed limits in the ECUs and ignition timing settings, etc. are all done in response to import duties based on horsepower and tested top speed, basically.

It costs KHI more to import the ZX14R than it does the C14, despite the fact the C14 is more expensive.

Cooter, you are funny. There obviously is no law called "the gentleman's agreement" but its a funny thought.

so i am wondering about this guy supposedely doing 196 mph, they have not said what type of bike it was, aww well that speed was insane indeed

There are gen 1 ZX-14s and busas that did 200+ naturally aspirated mph with basic mods.

I still think the 14 is the fastest, but even if its not i say it is woo-HOO
