Restricted most I ever saw was just under 100, mostly 95 though, and I would generally crawl under the paint on the tank and try that daily!

you might get 140mph if you cleaned it YC

That was 2 up, I dunno why though as having a 120-70 on front should make it read lower. It was on a lonnnng slightly downhill bit up Glencoe though!

Maybe on my own it would crack 140, but I've no interest in doing so. I've got the SRAD if I want ridiculous top speeds.

^ not bad, but there again ure's is tuned a fair bit

I had 145 from my k5 but Itl fully faired

^ more like actual 130mph

talk about thread resurrection

mine will do a true 126mph at 10k in 6th (down geared)
