I also had ~ 150 w my completely stock -87 CBR 600 .
Speedo cable was broken , but I calculated from revcounter which was glued exactly at 12,000 rpm !
Following year I fitted a V&H + slightly larger jets (colder air here in Sweden = higher density) . The V&H really was some piece of tube ! Only some five percent increase in power and , maybe , some improvement in midrange torque , BUT some five - HUNDRED percent (!) increase in sound level !!!
Embarrasing to drive in populated areas . ( = not good ) .
Though it must be said , exhaust note turned inte something extremely aggressive ! Fellow riders wanted me to thrash it just to hear the screaming ;-) !

In all the most pleasing bike I´ve ridden in all my years !!!!!!

Extremely versatile !
Literally ANY riding condition handled with ease and grace , not to forget great comfort , and ,
overall WONDERFUL balance !!!!!!!!!!!

0 - 60 (mph) in 3,5 sec.
( If you say you need a faster one , you probably have a complex over your genitals . . . )

:D !
