Off-hand I'd guess at the Yamaha R6. 

[Walk over to the home library...]

Hmmm! The January 2K issue of Bike magazine lists the R6's estimated top
speed at 167 MPH, with the Suzuki GSX-R600 at 163, the Kawasaki Ninja
ZX-6R at 169, and Honda's CBR600F at 168. (I guess Yamaha's marketing
department got me pretty good! :-)

So, it looks like the 600's already have to worry about the ultimate
limit (155), with the intermediate limit (174) a good speed for the
manufacturers to shoot for.
