Unfortunatley only 102 mph. Unfortunatley, because I was trying to keep up with my brother on his R1.

Throttle could go no further.

I once saw 122mph on the clock on mine... It was on the way home from the last Rye run. I was lying flat on the tank for about 5 mins against the throttle stop... (M25) I think it may have been over-reading a touch... (there's no way in hell it'll do 120+)!

Well ,No it isnt about topspeed but I got that last night without a problem so I thought this was good as the bike did not wobble or anything .It was stable and I was sitting on the bike ,not laying behind the screen or anything.

105 down hill on a motorway with a run up and the wind behind me... thought it was going to explode though

Haven't seen three figures since then though

Mind you, I went 'round a round-a-bout at 60 last night and that felt 10x better

99mph . Standard or modded on the flat never seen anything obove this. Mind you I'm not to fussed. I sold the last bike because of the temptation to speed excessively .

Glad my XT will only do this. Keeps my licence and grin intact.
