Hi all,

Following on from my top speed thread, and the suggestion my SV could be restricted to 33bhp, I managed to test some things out on a track day this weekend.

1) I can hit 11'000 revs, I came off to change gear at this speed, the bike still kept going with revs. So the revs definatley red line.

2) After much trying on the straight bits of the track, I got up to a speedo indicated 125mph. The revs read 9500. I reckon a speedp indicated 130 is possible but I doubt much after that.

3) Bike flies to 60 and will get to 100 in what feels like the 10 second mark.

So, I am happy it aint restricted. As I said before, I dont care about top speed but dont want a restricted bike.
