out and about again
, took Mona-vale road and got 160kph on slight downhill part!
Probably a very bad idea to look at the speedo at that speed, especially at night

I've had mine well off the end of the speedo, where it would be indicating 120mph (front sprocket up one tooth). And a friend following on an R6 told me it was 106mph. And even that was probably optimistic

Fastest top speed for my VVT model is 180kmh, usually hit 160 at least once per week on an 800m stretch

I fitted another motor a while back, new rubber back and front, new genuine rear shock
Runs a solid 185kmh - plenty fast

230km/h (GPS reading) sitting upright and with the top case on. Faster than that is quite possible, but the front end gets uncomfortably light and wobbly...
Over 200Km/h fully loaded with side cases, tank bag, passenger seat bag, 52L top case with a rack holding the spare. Comfortably 160-180 for hours on end in that configuration.
Did I mention that I refuse to duck behind the windscreen and I have 1" up 1" back handlebar risers?
