There was a test not so long ago in one of the bike mags where a professional driver got one into the mid 9's(maybe low 9's) with just suspension mods. They are damn fast.

No, the article I saw was a ZX12r against a Hayabusa, bith with pro riders, and they had them both well into the 9's. The Busa came out on top though. I would probably still get the ZX12 myself though, they feel lighter and seem to turn better.
