Top Speed this Morning 145 Mph instead of usual 130mph
Ok - I changed nothing on the bike over the weekend, filled up on friday & it hasn't been used on the weekend.
This morning on the private road section to work, the speedo showed 145 MPH!!! Usually 130mph is top. Same section of road everyday & believe me I've tried beating the 130mph mark before... Any Ideas? |

I got 151mph on a downhill stretch on friday night about 1am!!! Slightly optimistic speedo me thinks.
But still the cooler air is supposed to help and i'd just put a small numberplate on the back which i'm told adds at least 10bhp
