I remember the joy (and amazement) of first hitting the (indicated) ton on my XS250...WOOHOO
it never did that again
then I got the later model XS250 with the twin cam motor and that never went anywhere near the ton, handled and stopped a lot better but that's no compensation for lack of tonnage though
then I got a GS750 which would do it with ease, followed by a GS850 which would do it but didn't want to, then a GSX1100 which would do 150MPH with me hiding behind the fairing, the Vmax I've got now will do about 155 if pushed but theres nowhere safe to do that sort of thing anymore (radar guns, speed cameras, hidden cops, nosey busybodies that will drop you in the shit with the cops for your own good) only safe place left is the on ramps to freeways, the Vmax will usually hit about 130 before its time to back off or way out in the back blocks in the country where the roads are so shit its dangerous for all the wrong reasons
a couple of years ago someone got clocked on a freeway out in the country doing somewhere around 320kmh (200mph) the cops couldn't get near him but got a speed camera pic. the cops did pop round to someones house (whose brother in law I knew) a couple of weeks later and told him they had digitally enhanced the pic they had of the bike and they were there to arrest him for his miscreance. he told them that if they had had proof of this at the time it happened they would have been waiting for him at home on the day when he got home (except it wasn't him and therefore had not been out that day) and they could therefore sod off which they did
