    Was at Daytona last week. Ulrich brought a box stock SV1000 for me to ride on the track day on Thursday before the race. Dam n thing went over 155 on the bank. Box stock. When I was racing, at the end, in the late 80s, we were lucky to get over 160. Damn, I'm getting old, and the bikes are getting quicker. Did do a few laps on a 600, and that monster went over 170 on the banking, after about 2 laps to get used to it, and I'm sure that someone with more skill could probably see over 180.

    Amazing....

    daytona is a top speed check for sure. i remember my first trip to daytona was ccs/formula usa week in 1997. i had last years team hammer 750 superbike i bought from keith. i remember the end of my first session thinking ...i have never been sooo fast for sooo long!

    and yes art, the bikes have grown too fast for nearly any mortal.
