On my 01 SVS needle was just past the 130 mark on my local drag strip "cough A45 cough" not a car in sight mind you, wouldn't dream of that. still had a few more revs but thats more than fast enough for me, still cleaning the stains from paints .

About 103 one summer evening on the A21 shortly after I got the bike. It was a case of nice clear bit of road, no Old Bill in sight, lets see if I can make three figures... OK, been there, done it, point proven and pull back into inside lane to let all the cages who had been tailgateing me go past....

Of course it did, I forgot.

Just thinking that the SVS would look cool in black

126 on the naked bandit chasing Joe up the Track *ahem M1*

It's amazing but over 110 it actually becomes benificial to hide behind the speedo & rev counter for wind deflection! Course shortly after I slowed down from this attempt and hit the brakes There was a bang from the rear of the bike as the caliper hit the swing arm
Needless to say didn't bother looking for the missing torque arm bolt and invested in some threadlok!
