New car speeding

[Sigurd]

In 1997 I took my brand new bike to GB (UK) and spent a week in Scotland. When the day arrived and I was going home, I overslept due to a rather wet evening the day before. Needless to say I finally had the right excuse to see if I could reach the advertised top speed of the bike (240 kph/ 149 mph). It was quite easy reaching 240/149 and there was more power in it.
I did not pursue the actual top-speed as I had my luggage on the back of the bike. It would have been nasty if I had lost that in such speeds.
The average speeds probably were around 200/125 on the stretch between Glasgow and Newcastle.
I remember nearly stepping off the bike at a gas station probably doing 20/12. When my foot bounced on the ground I realized I was still moving…

Awesome bike!What type is it?

I'm looking to buy one, but since my budget is a bit tight, I have to go for the older models. I find myself constantly drawn to kawasaki's...

this one would be affordable & I quite like the looks of it :

ZZR 1100 .
