Does this do it for you?
Wikipedia sez: The ZX-7R is a 749 cc in-line 4-cylinder four-stroke, which in standard guise provided impressive power figures, enough to enable a top speed of 178 mph (285 km/h).
I’m guessing it’s easily 4 times the HP and torque of my Ninja 250. I had a ZX-9R follow behind me on the concrete slab today in the rain. No problem keeping up with my speed, and never passed me even given many opportunities. Seriously, even a Ninja 250 can haul you faster than you can get your license suspended. I was very impressed at how well the 250 does on the freeway. Yes, I took it 10-15 peaking at 20 over most of the way, but I had to do it at least once after having the bike. Call me a squid if you want to.
