143mph on the dyno means nothing, that's just free revving against a mass, no resistance from the air.
Your dads busa clocks probably still have the same error as the SV ones.
Quick shifter won't affect the top speed in the slightest!

Highly modified... go on?

I'm really liking this thread, makes for entertaining reading. I can't help but wonder if some of the posts aren't meant solely to wind people up though.

I'm pretty sure my SV would break 150 mph with no problem... If dropped from an airplane on a hot day! I did have the speedo saying 140-ish once, it felt incredibly fast, but didn't feel 140.

If it is, then I fall for it every time.

I think you'll find Chris has written above what I would have....

I'm intrigued, what ya got? I know that 150mph is a impossible on an highly tuned SV750S let alone a SV650S.

Done in conjunction with two publications, a race team (not SV related), SV tuning company, and our gang (former and active MOD/Military people).

Er no....anybody could come on here and say that. Name the two publications, name the (non sv) race team, name the SV tuning company.

I personally hired Bruntingthorpe and their Vmaxx system....the sv will do 190mph with a Fuel can on.......

ooooI see what your saying lol

Just to fan the flames, the Bike review hosted on the main site assert a tested top speed of 135.1 for a pointy S at Bruntingthorpe.
