    140 MPH WOT at 8000 RPM at 4000 feet at a secret Northern Utah desert test facility.* From another test at a West Coast Rally it proved to be about as fast as a stock 1150. Rock solid stable at mach looney and would be faster with some type of windscreen for the rider.

        I get a little nervous running mine at 8-9.5k rpm for longer periods
        At under 300m elevation and running a 15 tooth front 42 tooth rear sprocket it was in the 8000 - 8500 zone, this engine is also fitted with a custom tuned exhaust system, a tuned system is very different to a custom built system and that is a major advantage over off-the-shelf and OEM systems,cheers.

          No sir, your honor, I was going the speed limit. The officer's radar must need to be re-calibrated. I offered to do that for him, even after he wrote me the ticket.
