I'm gearing limited to 186 and it get's there QUICK.
EDIT: The R6 is 200 lbs lighter too.
Mine maxes out at ~150 (5 cogs). Makes around 100hp/75tq at the wheel. Weighs about 380lbs dry. It's very much the same family member to Harley as the XF is to Merc/Chrysler, a black sheep.
Had some good runs with my cousin's 750 gixxer til around third gear, then it was bye-bye time! Lol
