From memory, and thats tough at my age, I think the 98 / 99 TKA ZX9r was getting around E.C in about 1:35 / 36 ish, with Marty Craggil on board. A few privateers were doing 1:37 / 1:38's...
But yep, I'm sure theres a few seconds in riding a bike you don't have to pay for...

They've dropped quite a few seconds since then...
