Is that possible? What have you done extra to the bike?

Even if you allow the full 10% over read on the speedo that is 135 mph (216 Km/h).

whats to say it was on an SV?

Yes it was on an SV... and it was the same as my current one, clock in Km/h rather than miles... my one outside has 240 km/hr on the clock max.... whats the max speed on a uk model out of interest?

so the indicated mileage 235 km/h, realistically what that is I dont know.

Indicated 163 mph, so that will be about 150 then. YZF 750. Did it for about 2 miles, never went there again

On the SV it was an indicated 140mph, but i was having to hibernate behind the screen to get there!

160mph on a Blackbird

Indeed.
above 110 is just special occasions for me.

I would also suggest that if you did get caught, and they found that you are supposed to be a restricted rider, that the 140 mph might give the game away somewhat.
