The Ducati Desmosedici is limited production, and it can go at least 197mph. It has 200hp on tap.....................

Were you on a track when you went that fast? That's pretty fkin fast..........
I was on a privately owned air strip.

The bike has a cam, airbox mods, full exhaust and a tune (179hp). The sprokets are stock and using a gearing calculator puts you about 189.
