Well, I thought I'd been pretty sensible and stayed below a ton, but my GPS seems to think that it's been travelling at a max of 118 (and its only ever been on my bike). Goodness knows what the clocks read, 'cos the GPS is totally accurate and I'd expect the clock to read more. Probably a momentary overtaking blip...

Gets a bit draughty on a naked over 95 (especially since I'm not exactly aerodynamic) so I'm not expecting to be breaking any speed records...

after my last post on this i have seen an indicated 145mph, the bike didnt want to go past it, this was on a downward slope

nope just a slight decline that helped the engine to more or less hit the limiter(didnt hit it but wasnt far off it), had seen 132 ish before, thats probably where the power started to drop off and wouldnt pull any further, the decline will have helped the engine pull to near the redline

Decided that that was too fast for me, that and the crap ogk lid i had at the time felt like it was trying to come off my head.

Bit un-nerving eh!
Chopped that lid in for a nice new arai astro j, supposed to be a much more balanced lid (thanks to Lee and Ben for press ganging me into this purchase

)
