Ive been clocked at 135mph on my RVF, by a mate on a R1 on a private road officer

. Then we hit the twisties and I left him for dead

Now he knows why I ride a 400, Its all about the mid corner speed

I saw 140 on the speedo when the gearing was 15 38 and I was slipstreeming a mates sp1 but since iv gone to 15 42, which is sooo much more fun I havent seen much over 125
but from with my satnav I know my speedo has about a 10% over read (thats with the 42 read) over the reading on the satnav
duno about on track lol I tape the speedo up for obvious reasons

I'll liv with tuning on mine, it seems to pull well enough now i've sorted the carbs and their diaphragm issues. I'm sure quick balance would do no harm tho. They're a fun little bike and i'd love to have a dust up with an NSR250, i'd like to compare the two in the real world if you catch my drift..

on my nc30 i had a genuine 116mph.it was restricted but as the restriction is not accurate it didn't kick in until past the 180kph mark.the speedo was showing over 120mph though but due to speedo error it was 116mph.
the majority of speedos are out by 10% there abouts anyway.my zx9r speedo is out by 7%.
