Well the trooper said he clocked me at 92 when I passed him and she was still pullin on my 07 SG. That said top speed depends on gearing and weather or not you have had a download or added fuel management to change your rev limiter. HP, torque and engine size plays a very small part in top speed, just aids a little in pushing air.

sixth is overdrive. I used 5th to get to 106 which is what mine had. But I also have a bunch of crap on my bike that turns it into a real barn door. Probably could get another ten out of it without the chaps and bat wings on it.
