  3. Correct,offers a nice cruise at 110 I find,but to,get to top speed I find I need to rev to redline in 5th for 6th to cope at that rpm

  8. I think that applies to all of us. Redline in 5th then change up 6th.

  9. I only looked as I know I was hitting 9k at Silverstone in 5th yet the gps app Luca put up showed 117mph. Guess I must have gone down 3 on the front lol

  10. Like AirConTechnical,I've a CJS mapped bike.
    However,mine has a Mivv de-cat and Acrapovic end can and keeps pulling to hyperspace,
    as I found out last year on a deserted Spanish motorway.
    This was two-up with luggage.
    Sat nav showed 147 mph.
    My other half want ballistic when I showed her the sat-nav record in the hotel that evening.
    There was still some left and I bottled it.
