Cool

This is the best my bike would do speedo indicated about 110 and the GPS idicated 106. With stock windshield that's cut down a few inches if it makes any difference I don't know. Picture is from the GPS after a 4500 mile road trip

My Grandfather told me stories of doing 160 kph on his BSA in the old country. This was during the roaring twenties. The pictures look like a large single maybe a sloper.

Riding with my bother. I'm the oldest, he's the youngest, so the competition has always been there. We did 107 (GPS) once as we entered a big sweeper ('08 RKC). The death wobble kicked in and I sh|t my pants. I figure I'm fairly stout but there is no way you can calm that wobble down at 107. I'm not going there again.

I have glanced down and saw what I think was about 215 k/h (133 mph), and she was still pulling in 6th.

I think it was that, I wasnt brave enough to look down again before I buttoned off.

I'd like to find out how fast mine will go, so far I've had it just past the 120 mark on the speedo and ran out of room. Im gonna have to get a gps so I can get an accurate reading when I wind her out

As long as I can get 20 mph over the posted limits I'm fine.....
Not interested in the highest #'s I can get out of her....
I very seldom ride the super-slab hiways, as back country roads offer
better sights, sounds, and smells.
