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

Divide by 1.6 to get MPH... In this case 147, and I don't believe a standard SV will do that, 130-135 tops...... My GSXR has read 167MPH, which I equate to about 155 (Digital speedo's being more accurate than analogue, so about 7-8% out),

I had 135 a year ago but with my carbs so badly out of sync 125 is best at the moment.

I once hit 68.5mph on a bicycle!

Suzuki speedos are notorious for over reading.
GPS is the only way to have a spot on accurate reading. Not sure if it's really worthwhile on an SV but if you're a candidate for the 200MPH club then I'd say do it.

130 (indicated) on my SV and 45 on my marin (http://www.marin.co.uk/marin-2005/bi...php?ModNo=2547)both on the A303. \

145mph for me. that was about a week before my bike died! again on the notorius private test track! nicely mentioned lee.

214 kph and it took a while to get there from 210. I guess I could have held it up to 220 but, as it's been written before, it gets really uncomfortable past 180 kph (not to mention wobbly).

Hey,

Or just use Google to calculate the conversion.
