hehehe... on a stock-ish 600 you'd get a bit over 250 km/h, using the
full straigth, before braking at 150-120 meters, depending on how good
you are. :)
AFAIK they've been planning it for years. I've heard some talk about
them trying to get a World Superbike round in a year or two, so maybe
it'll finally happen.
