Nice run, but you'd better do this kind of stuff on a private track/road...
If there was some kid or animal running across the road, things would've gotten really ugly...
Grtz,

so you end up losing quite a bit of top end going to the 15t sprocket... dunno if it would be worth doing sacrificing that much... may be better suited to adjust the rear sprocket slightly for less of a margin of change...
well he did say he didnt go till rev limiter in top gear to be fair...^^^ so i dunno what a 15t does officially to top end but im stock gearing and have seen 168 indicated on speedo at the track... actual speed was probably a good 10-15 mph lower than indicated but stock gearing will hit close to 170 indicated from what i can tell...
going to a 15t sprocket would probably end up costing a good 15-25mph top end change... and that for someone who goes to a track with a long straight would make a huge difference in topping out too early... granted you would have more torque to get there faster...
Guys, I'm fully geared all the time, even if I'm going to move the bike from my driveway to my neighbour's couple of houses up, believe me! Also, on that road I went up and down two times to observe and minimize as much as possible the danger before doing (and filming) this run. To be honest---no matter how many times you check, there's always the possibility something might jump on the road in front of you. Question is, would it matter if you're going 100 or 200? Most likely you'll die anyway, which I don't wish anybody to try and find out.... (just some food for thought). BUT, by no means I advocate going 200 on public roads! I do it very very rarely, in fact, this was the first time I actually pushed to 200, usually I'd open her up and stop at about 160, which is quite easy to get to.
When i did 157 i was in 6th gear and it hit the rev limiter maybe about 4 or 5 times with a decent pause in between with stock gearing

Do you have a speedohealer? Mine redlined 6th at 140MPH(GPS verified) with modified gearing. Stock gearing it would've taken miles and miles to go that fast.

over here, that's 60mph vs 127mph, give or take a little.
with some fancy online calculators....
60mph = 117feet to stop completely (these are car numbers)
127mph = 539 feet to stop completely (again, car numbers)
a good friend and co-worker left his first skid mark 537 feet (gps coordinates, taken by me the next morning) long to where he expired. an experienced rider, for more than 30 years. the road was a 5 lane, unused race-track (dog track) access loop with excellent traction, visibility, and space. a very mild turn likely of interstate spec (70mph) was what the entire loop consisted of. gear or not, at his, and your speed, it will not matter.
i'm not judging you, i'm just giving you some information to chew on.
