Find motorway.
Select 6th gear.
Open throttle.
Observe speedo.

Top speed 100mph - restricted
Top speed 130mph - unrestricted



Seriously though, do you have any biking mates? Probably easiest to get someone else to ride it.

Yup, got one biker mate but she's more in seam challenged than I am.

Service is due in 500 miles so I may get it done earlier and ask the mechanic.

There seems to be a larger than usual number of bike thefts in London at the moment, so make sure you've got some decent security for it
