@modcit 150 sounds about right, he didn't get it bouncing off the limiter, so there was still a bit to go. With the mirrors folded Brit bike mags get about 160-165 out of a standard Sprint. Like to take mine on a runway and try it for myself XD! The roads are far too crowded for top speed runs on the Queens highway these days...:(
that's not bad Numb, my SV650 does the same thing. The bike says 125mph but it's really more like 117mph. Seems to be common in all most bikes (faster you go, more inaccurate it is). Guess it's a good thing too, cause you get a nice surprise when the cop pulls you over and gives you that $2000 15 point ticket for doing 110 when you thought you were going 120.
I think he hit like 150?

10% is the number most speedometers misread by.

The speedo runs a little high, compared to my gps at speeds over 130 the speedo will be off by almost 10kph.
