I don't know what the top end is. The speedo only reads up to 265 kph (165 mph.) At that speed, it was still accelerating strongly. The road looked like it was about 1/2" wide, and I decided that I really didn't need to know. I would guess that I was doing something over 270 kph. (168 mph.) by the time I backed off. That was in stock trim. Since then, I've installed .020" oversize pistons, a Stage III Dyna-jet kit in the carburetors, a Dyna ignition system, and done some minor tweaking on the exhaust system. After the rebuild, it dyno'd at 140 horsepower at the rear wheel. So it's probably a bit faster than it was.[/font] :D

:eek: dude... that's pretty fricken fast! (how did you go from 0-60 in 2.8 seconds without the g-forces throwing you off the bike? or did you dyno it to figure this out?)
needless to say... I want one!!!
