no worries!

If you get a pointy (2003-present) restricted then it is done with a new ecu. This limits the speed to 100mph electronically, and changes the top end power.

It's still a great ride, and it doen't really affect the torque so you still get all the benefits of a vtwin.

However, as someone already said, you'll tend to be redlining it a lot of the time, which keeps your fuel economy down to about 40mpg - the same as an unrestricted thou

I paid £350 tpft this year, through Roadsure - that's 21 yo Edinburgh 2ncb

I pad £550 tpft last year through bike team

Top speed maybe 105mph, 110mph. With the standard end can on, top speed is maybe 85mph!!! It's terrible standard!!

Is the standard can really that bad? I have a restricted SV (I have a ful licence, bought a restricted bike and haven't got around to getting the restrictor out yet) and have been tempted by a new can.

I completely agree with the running out of puff above 7.5k, though I've seen the speedo read 90 (95 with a tail wind!).
