I also have a V-Strom 650 and I have GPS navigation that tells true speed. I've also had my bike up to "124" but my GPS reported that actual speed to be 108 MPH. At 100 on the speedo, actual speed is 93.

I rode my bike on the road next to a new Honda Civic, those with digital display on the dashboard and @ 85 miles per hour on the Civic Dash board , my bike marked 90, then I realized that the speedo has an error of 5 miles .( a lot )

I rode a 1000 nd hated it. Felt like a tank. LOVE my 650.

i checked my strom when going with almost 200km/h with a buddy next to me on a hayabusa and he said he was too at 200km/h :))

after that i lost him,he went to 300 in no time :((

hahaha!

The 650 is a great bike, I got to do 3000 miles in Colorado, Utah and Arizonia on one. The only real flaw with the bike is in the passing dept. Fully loaded down with camping gear, I was closed to getting run over by Denver traffic on a friday night doing 90mph average traffic speed. I love my DL1000, you know when you grab the throttle there is no doubt you are going to pass whatever is there. With almost double the torque as the 650 you can add accessories and extra weight.

@dhkent55 I was just going to post the same thing. I have a 2011 Wee, and I figured that this one got to about 118 or 120. Still, anything over 115 is awesome for a stock Wee.

Like the layout of the gauges, Not really into all the digital tacks & speed'os. If it can run 130 mph that's great. What year is this bike. Would like to know the fuel mileage per tank, Running hard & easy ? What the price is for a new one like this. Thank's, yl

@dhkent55 true...

[dhkent55]

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but much as I love my Wee-Strom they all have speedos that read 8%-10% fast. This bike was probably going around 115 mph.

@aireymar

This is MPH, not Klicks. So the spedo is reading correctly at near 130 MPH.

I used to race and this would be a wild ride w/o the faring.

i have a dl650 too, ive seen 190 on my speedo while riding with a givi top box, small tank bag, small panniers and a passenger. The bike does not feel nice at this high speed. Aerodynamics are to blame i think, not engine vibes. Love the engine

[tref101]

this bike is so smooth for a vee twin, i can see why they sold more 650 vees over the dl1000, this is the winner in the bunch,and a bullet proof engine being no slow poke either.it moves right ALONG, I HAVE A SV1000S MUCH MORE TORGUE,BUT THE VIBES SUCK,TREF
