Happy Days My Rocket is Done

Are the tires rated for this speeds?
 
Front's rated at W, 168mph, rear's rated at V 149mph or (V) >149mph depending where you believe the data from.

There are NO tires rated at the top speed of modern liter bikes or the top speed of carpenter rockets.

I was just curious, because you mentioned running hard from 3rd to 5th. I've only gotten to 176 mph, and hadn't found the end of 4th.

Holy $hit!
Best I ever did was pegged (180mph) at 176mph on police radar, with my 1987 900 Ninja.
It was tapped out and you haven't even used your last gear yet?!?!?

That's correct. I was climbing a pretty tall bridge and knew I needed to let off before I hit the top. It was still pulling really hard too.
