I've had Dad's 911 up to the 130s a while back with him in it, otherwise haven't really taken a car over 110ish.

You ride with a GPS that is only accurate to 10 meters and that updates every what 5 seconds...at a speed of 170 of course your GPS is going to lag...your moving faster than it can update...so you maxed your GPS...not your bike.
176 on my 600 was maxed, that was all it had. I understand that a bikes speedo at those speeds lies..but not by 30mph...I have heard of a 7mph difference..but thats the highest.

45mph in my Vette, on the freeway, in the fast lane, with my single gray-hair comb-over flapping in the wind, jamming to REO Speedwagon...

the fastest that i have ever gone was 160 in my 06 Z. all i can say is that i never felt so safe in a car at those speeds. the car was so bolted to the ground and steady that it felt slow.
and as far as those of you getting scared at 100+, i just wish i was like you guys. just today i hit 130+ and it was if i was doing 90.

I dont think half the people on this thread have a tune of any type (aka no speed limiter).
People that are estimating their speed by looking at the little speedo needle... fail.
GPS or GTFO
My digital speedo is about 5mph off from GPS speed at 80. So assuming this is a ratio (which it is) at 160 i would only be going 150. hmmmm
