I like Yamaha (owned two of them), but I would be very wary of any such claims. Even R1's don't go that fast (stock)
My R1 (02) did over 170 stock. Measured on GPS also, not the speedo (speedos are never accurate on bikes). The new ones have even more top end power.

Both of the Graves R6s were doing over 170 in SuperSport in Daytona. I saw it myself. They showed it on TV also.
