Top Speed Bike

I have Ninja ZX-4R standard bike. Company claims that the maximum speed of this bike is 200 km/h, and I ride this bike at this speed. The balance and performance of this bike at this speed is amazing, I would suggest the user to buy it. But there are some minor drawbacks in it considering the maintenance cost.
