![]() I too miss my bikes but will never get another or Ill probably kill myself . I had an 03 gixxer 600 modded a bit then an 04 750. It really reinforced my love for dohc and higher rpm engines as I loved to hear them scream at high rpms . The 600 wouldn't budge much past 265 km/hr and even so from 240-260 it was struggling. the 750 had steam to about 275-280 km/hr and I managed to eke out 302 km/hr about 5-6 times on the qew highway at 4am ! Of course with speedo error common on these bikes as speeds increase it was likely 275+ and not really over 300. To me the difference from 220k -300 km/hr wasn't very noticeable at all especially considering I did it at night on a 5 lane highway with no cars around or even in sight. |

Listen to Mr. Maz carefully. He is lucky to be alive since his tranny totally locked up while at speed. 6th gear was not meant as an acceleration gear. It is a maintaining speed gear and attaining miles per gallons, not miles per hour. Do as you like you were warned.

Great information to know. I haven't even put in 6th gear and if I ever do it will be a coast situation on the highway at high speed without any torque.
Are there any pics of this 6th gear placement in the trans. It would be interesting to see it.
