I found this link during my search for front tire size to order the Metzeler Roadtec Z6 interact front tire. First i did not know the 650 could go as fast as posted in the data field, And the you tube link not in english, i think really shows how potent the 650 is.

150mph makes 240km/h. I've gotten it up to 241km/h on the speedo going downhill with textile gear and a tailbag. Minus 7% speedo difference to real life makes about 225km/h which makes more sense.

Best that I did was 223KM/hr on the GPS with Power commander, after market exhaust, K&N air filter and TRE to remove the limiter. It was slightly uphill. It reaches 200 fast and after that took for ever to reach 223 on the GPS.

how did u get it too go that fast i can only get mine to 178km/h mines a 09 gsx 650f
Really? 200Km/h (indicated) was quite easily reached yesterday on my '08, with a few thousand RPM to spare... Hell, it'll do 160 between sets of lights on my daily commute! You are letting go of the clutch, right?

I think your cool. I get it up to 160-170km/h at least once if I get on the highway, bike is designed to cope with higher speeds Can't wait till May 4-9. 5 days of unlimited riding in the German Eifel

Why thanks Kadett! I do that run once per month (Putty Road, for the Sydney folk...), so I'll be sure to strap on the GoPro next time I take the F up there...
And just as a reference point, I've maxed out my little 1989 model 250cc at 155Km/h on the same straight, so I'm kinda surprised to hear one of us only gets another 20-odd outta their F...
