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

After they did 10 laps around the same roundabout to give you a headstart lol,!!

Hate to admit it... but close to red-line in 6th on a supersport (R6) is much more scary!

Yep, I'm 6ft and 15 1/2 stone and I've seen 134. Because of a recent thread like this I checked it out with my Sat Nav. At an indicated steady 100mph on my k6 my sat nav (I think you guys over there just call it simply "GPS") reads 90. In the car it reads 95. Meaning it's about 10% out on the K6 and 5% out on the car. So my 134 was actually more like 121 mph, I've been quicker therefore in my Mondeo TDCi. Your 140 could have been 126 or possibly even less.

Usual disclaimer about these being tested on a local disused airfield, not on a public road, applies, offisher.

My faired k6 indicates 140mph on speedo ( on closed roads officer ) but when it was set up on dyno their equipment measured it at 133mph, so speedo's aren't always accurate

Are Sat Navs?

138mph indicated from a 26K mile old naked 650K3 down a long gradient on the M1. Admittedly I had to crawl under the paintwork on the tank to keep myself out of the wind but it got there. I so desperately wanted to see 140 on the clock but it just wouldn't manage it.
