Default Can an SV650 go this fast?

Have a look at this quick vid

http://www.bikemovies.com/movie/011415/

Surely it's Kilometres?

Either that or he normally plays rugby to get the shoulders up to strength.

Judging by the rev counter it's definitely in Km's. Also looking at the way the figures jump about I'd say he's done an aftermarket job on the speedo drive magnets which suggests he might have a GSXR or similar front end on it.

My SV1000 is in kms and it only takes minute movements of the throttle to jump the figures around both up and down due to the faster rate the numbers rise and fall against mph.

Deffo kms!

+1, and no an SV won't go that fast in MPH. 135 to 140mph indicated is about the fastest, and on a pointy that's optimistic by about 10%
