What's top speed of standard pointy?
I can't get over an indicated 108. MCN quotes 125 for the curvy, but new one not stated. So whats wrong with my bike? Then again MCN quotes 36mpg but I got 53mpg (at 90 - 100)
What will help - a change to a race can? I'm still loving the light weight and looks compared with my old Bandit, but on that I strugggled hold on as it went along at 120. 100 is only standard speed of the cagers on the motorway, and I want to be able to get away from them sometimes. Thanks for your help. |

Standard pointy easy 130 mph on the speedo.
The SV does do good mpg. Is it restricted to 33bhp? |

That would be fantastic if it is. I would fall in love all over again once I get it removed.
How can I be sure it's restricted - and more importantly how the h*ll can I get that alien John Hurt style off my bike! |

Well if it is restricted then and you are sure it is then i will if its a curvy then two fins in the carbs with holes in if i remember, but if its a pointy then think its something to do with the ECU but don't hold me to that.
