Default SV650S K1, Suzuki's claimed top speed?

Does anyone know the top speed that Suzuki claimed for the curvy S, (K1) model, as this is the last bit of info I require to fill in my type approval (MSVA) form.

I am not interested in what the speedo shows, what bike mags got, what you got with GPS, I'm only interested in what Suzuki claimed.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Tim

That's an odd one, not that I know much about type approval forms, but I didn't think the Jap manufacturers claimed top speed anymore. Well, maybe for the hyperbikes but only 'cause the speedo stops at 186mph.

Thought they only claimed weight, power, torque and revs nowadays.

He iss right i think, manufacturers dont usually put a claimed top speed. Best you will find is bike magazines, reviews etc.

About 160mph!
Seriously though, I have 128mph in mind. Cannot be entirely certain though.

Figures are pretty thin on the ground at the moment (Nov '99) but these figures were published in May 1999 Cycle World :

1/4 mi. 11.85 sec. @ 110.17mph.

0-30 mph 1.34 sec.
0-60 mph 3.20 sec.
0-90 mph 6.79 sec.
0-100 mph 8.76 sec.

40-60 mph 3.27 sec.
60-80 mph 3.90 sec.

Measured top speed 128 mph

Well I put 130 mph on the form in the end, think as long as it's above 28 mph it is classed as a motorbike!
