Corona's? The launch must be in Mexico!!
I can see it now. The hot sand, the sagebrush, the hot sun glistening of the ZX-14's. The 17" full sand knobbie tires. A 2 day trip across the open desert at 170mph, flattening small turtles, decapitating snakes, the monstrous rooster taiis of sand blasting the paint off of the laggards. Should be fun!

Those are really good numbers MadMike. I got 10lbs. more on you bud. Maybe it's too late for these questions?
1. Anyone snap the bars like say over 150 mph to see how the chassis recovered?
2. Did anyone do brake tests from say 170 to zero?
3. Any brake work done to where there was brake fade?
4. If some bike was doing 180 and sparking, what bottomed out... the center stand tabs or exhaust bottoms? Take a look at the bottom of that bike if the day is not over please?
5. What RPM range was there most vibration?
6. Is the steering neutral, twitchy, responsive, less responsive, more input to turn corners than say the 10?
7. Does the chassis feel "long" as if you were turning a corner driving a NASCAR rig?
8. Can the front end take fast pulls and give instant responses, or is there a lag?
9. Cranked over, what happens when you flick the bars? Does the chassis wind-up, sit up too fast, dive too soon, takes more input to do the above?
10. Place thick rags over the exhaust pipes and listen for any mechanical noise? Pull the clutch in, then listen again? Compare to it to say a 12?
11. Take the throttle (in neutral) and slowly rev then engine to redline (hey, do it, it' ain't your bike anyway). Place your other hand on the bike and feel for harmonics. Which rpm noted the worst vibration, and is this rpm in the cruising range of normal highway speeds?
Thank you gentlemen.

Now this is different when the bike is moving - aerodynamics
The air flow will dampen or strengthen the vibrations (if any)
Then again I wonder what a DoubleBubble will do to the vibs (of the bike)
