I powervalved mine with the YPVS kit and could top out at an indicated 96mph if memory serves. It used to shake itself apart, indicators and bar ends were considered consumables, but it was a fun ride.

I still have it in boxes and have been collecting parts to restore it for a number of years now...
I almost has an Eddie Lawson Mito a few years ago but I hesitated buying it and thus missed out on it
