Had mine on the 140 mark the other day, I was of course off road at the time and not attempting to chase someone with a much faster bike than me

The bike felt very planted still even with raised rear and lowered front ... lovely

In Mph I've never seen more than 137 on the clock. It just won't go any faster.

Indicated 135 on the 650.

Have also seen 135 with a pillion and 150 (couldn't get my head any lower coz of a tank bag) on the thou - 150 on the thou was 9300rpm in sixth (red line is 11000!) .

Remember - speeding is not big and it is not clever

Mine did show 186mph on the speedo but that was due to a faulty wire to the sensor on the front wheel fastest I have seen was 126mph on the GPS and shes a naked with wing mirrors so not bad.
