Top speed for the XT?

Just a thought... You haven't got/had a Speedo-Healer fitted by a previous owner? Your top speed sounds about right if you assume the speedo is spot on and accurate. XT speedos tend to read about 10% fast. So 187kph on an optimistic speedo is going to be about the same as a 167kph on a "corrected one". In which case you're bike's speed is roughly the same as everyone else's!

Check it with a GPS...
