Not sure it wasn't very long next time I go by the road I'll see if I can measure the distance.. It would not go faster then that.. I pulled the camera out, took a picture and the flash was on and had to turn the flash off and then retake the picture.. It sounds a lot longer then it is, and at that speed probably not safe at all.. It seemed fast, but I've been over a certified 225 on busa's and a honest 173 on my GSXR 750. But it was not scary or nervous feeling or anything

There wasn't any wind, but it is a slight grade down hill.. It did 138 the other way back.. Next time I'll have GPS on and see what it actually is.. It was cold that night and I know air is more dense, so the engine made a little more power, but would the air be thicker and therefor harder to push through??
