An interesting point from the very in-depth article:
"On the final stretch of desert road leading back to the resort, I decided I wanted to see just how fast the R1 would go in first gear. My old personal record went to the 2000 GSX-R750, which hit an indicated 87 mph. The R1 smashed that record, showing 103 mph as the speedometer banged off the rev limiter on the desert floor..."Gravy...
