I still fail to see the reason to do more than 150mph. The brakes won't do you any good past 135, and that is if you are being light on them. I once had my previous car up to 170 and had everything upgraded from suspension, brakes, etc. The brakes I had were 13.5" rotors and 2.5" thick w Baer calipers. I just touched the brakes at 170, they just laughed. However closer to 140 I could rip the front tires loose off the ground from the stopping force. Anything faster was just too much heat. I even had CF pads on it. Not much more you can do, unless you go with an even bigger brake setup. The smallest wheel I could fit over them were 17".

As for the stoppie / wheelie (aka squids), they need to either practice in private lots, or not do it at all. They are not only putting themselfs at risk but others around them.

I've got a sport bike club here in DFW area to keep guys like that out of the group. Don't need any additional (negative) attention from the public or police. I don't ride to work either. DFW area is hard enough to get around in a car, much less a bike. We typically ride the country back roads up to Oklahoma and back. Occasional traffic involves a tractor or two Nice clean roads though.
