Beamish you have been drinking to much of the black stuff instead of riding it

Seen 160 on my clocks and don't think the 42 rear sprocket woulda made much of a difference!

Your not wrong

was just short of 170 on a road pararel to the m58 in wigan fitted with art race cans and k&n filter.
went again after getting it jetted and struggled to reach 160.
went up m55 on a 07 plate cbr 1000 last year got 189 before catching up to cars nearly chucked me of bike when i had to sit up to slow down. stupid i now but you gotta try it. both sides of fairing cracked aroung front indicators on cbr after that speed. took it back no longer have it

IT WAS ACTUALLY THE 58 ON WAY FROM WIGAN TO SKEM.
SAID PARALLEL INCASE BOBBY LOOKING DONT WANNA GET CAUGHT DOING THAT. THERE NEVER ANY ABOUT THAT ROAD. BUT THE M55 IS BRILLIANT FOR A BLAST TO BLOW SOME STEAM OFF.

I saw 150 on the M58 this seems like a good bit of tarmac to do a bit of throttle testing

I've seen 140mph (on my drive of course) on the clocks and it was still pulling well, so good for another 10-15mph i reckon.

Only had to slow down coz one of the slower red storms was holding me up.

I got done on the M58 nr Skem..for 101.5 mph..sniped me from the bridge
