K7 - it's going to be the twin spark shenanigans rather than ECU mapping (IMHO) that makes your bike so much faster than all of ours

I dunno... the K6 doesn't have the the twin sparkies (as far as I know...) and it has read 148 on the clock (with a lighter mate on it) and I have seen 147 on it, but then it has been tinkered with a little

(Disclaimer: Yes I know the speedo speed is always over the 'actual' speed...)

im gonna verify this speed with another speedo off my buddies car

its funny how at that speed.. you can feel the heat off the exhaust on your right calf muscle.. you would think you wouldnt feel it but you can!!

That will overread too!

I had 130mph from my curvy, flat road, bit windy, and with a 6ft 13st weight slowing it down!

The small variances depend on the rear tyre size and its 360deg traveled distance and also the front too, carefully selecting your tires can account for the speedo diffrences.

Also some engines are stronger from the factory than others, other factors to consider are fuel load, your weight and the kit you have on at the time as big winter textiles that cause drag vs tight fitting leathers for less drag etc etc, in/decline in road, tail wind etc etc it will just go on and on with all the variances.

So ive seen 140 on my curvey once and it was perfect conditions for it realy, but my curr bike has seen far more on a priv drag strip. You want more speed get another bike.

I had a Yam TW125 (13BHP) that would do 140 on the corners, especially on mini roundabouts

got rid of it only cause it was waaaaay to slow for me and the polis were givin me hassle from time to time when they eventually caught up wiv me

Honest

I once had a BSA Bantam that did 120ft/sec squared.
It was all downhill from there.
