130 today, clean pull all the way.

Curvy's are obviously faster.

We're not saying we cant get over 115... Just saying it's considerably slower at accelerating once at that speed in comparison to other bikes, but as Matt yokes says it's just not designed for top speed.

I have had no problems hitting 120 easily, all on the Isle of Man roads ofc ;).

The fastest i had out of my 06 point before selling was on Mountain mile on a very rare still day, i hit 131 mph head down tucked in.

For the road, as long as mine does 100mph (incase I have to speed away from terrorists) I'm happy. However, I do want it to get there quickly!

I couldn't agree more, i much prefer to be able to overtake without worrying about not quite having enough mid-range power to pull past. And also the handling.... no good having a load of top end you can't use most of the time.

I have never ridden my SV faster than 69MPH. Honest.
