In 10 seconds.
A guy at the store I got it from had his up to 273mph on the salt flats, but his record was beaten a month or two prior. I don't know what it's up to now. The limiter bit makes the top speed 300kmh, or 186mph, which you can reach in fifth gear. I, ummm, did my first wheelie the other day. Yes, I'm on the near side of crazy. Seriously, though, I very tentatively explore the bike's performance envelope...the wheelie was totally natural and under control, but is not a behavior I will seek (but it was awesome). Cold morning, lots of power. As far as braking...that's the real danger on a bike; you can run out of road much faster than you think, or, at speed, a lazy corner can become a right angle turn.
