AT 2 AM, in the dark, you can't even see 117 yards ahead of you, so if you get the picture, its very likely that you aren’t even going to reach a brake lever before impact if a car, cow, deer, dog, or whatever moves onto the roadway in your path.
I've owned a CBR600 and a 600RR and I've ridden just about every sport bike you can think of including a Hyabusa. IF you got a stock Ninja to 160, I would be greatly surprised and highly suspect of your sanity.
