Wearing leathers, wrapped around the tank likeI love it (and I do) 105 indicated on Moclips highway (sea level, flat smooth pavement) rev it to limit in 4th, then 5th, shift to 6th for slight downhill, no perceptible wind. Wearing rainsuit and backpack, upright I can have trouble hitting 80 in top. It's all about the aerodynamics, you could probably go 130 with a streamliner fairing and tall gearing. You might damage a big-bore engine revving it so high even if it has more power. My buddy with the 550 KTM could not stay with me due to no experience with aerodynamics at speed. Real speed is probably mid 90's but trying to edge past 100 indicated is a blast!

I've hit 92mph indicated for sure on mine. Stock gearing, jet, full pipes.

Next time I have the SM wheels on and SM gearing I'll go for a highspeed run.
