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

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

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?  :motorsmile:
