My '98 ZX6e with ~80-90 hp would do about 140-145 with my fat arse
on it, so I would hope the TT600 with a stealthier person should
be able to better 155.

Nope, at those speeds I calculated my speeds by use of the tach.

speed is, so when I slowed down I did the math. ~11,000 rpm so that
would be 2.75*60 or 165mph. In other words my bike is very close
to a true 60mph at 4,000 rpm. Which basically makes sence, with
the pipe on and no jet kit, the torque starts to drop at 11,000
rpm on my 9r.
