I have a whole lot more done to my bike than you do, guarenteed by how you're saying "A few things", and my bike tops out at 178.
Oh and FMX, my speedo was recalibrated I found out, my actual speed was tracked on gps over the weekend at 174
174 is much more believable. Most 600's are in the 162-168 range from the factory.

Wonderful story, I simply don't care though. ;/
Speedometers are pretty accurate though..idk if you noticed that yet.
And even if I was pullin 175~..that's close to 185, your "no where close" arguement is shit.
I just said some stuff so I don't have to make a tl;dr post about the stuff done to it :/
Also you can't really say you have alot more done since well..for one, other people have money to spend on their bikes like you do...and two, parts are sold to anyone..not just you
See this is where you Nub-ness is showing. Automotive speedometers are usually very accurate. Motorcycle speedometers are NOT. They are more of a suggestion than a rule. Most are off 10% on the low side. I've seen some in the 15% range. That is off the showroom floor. I was a mechanic at a Honda/Yamaha/Kawasaki/Suzuki dealership for a few years. Why do you think speedometer recalibraters like the speed-o-healer are so damn popular? 10% at 185 is 18.5mph.
What do you know, that's 166.5mph.
My 05 ZX6-R indicated 188 before the speed-o-healer with stock gearing. Afterward it only made it to 172. That's stock gearing with a stainless header, Two Brothers magnesium undertail slip on, Amsoil air filter, and a power commander III. It backed that speed up with 10.90's@130 stock height and length.
