145 gps figure, 150 on speedo, non standard gearing. M27.
145 indicated but no where near revving out, A32. Same higher gearing.
only one tooth up on front.
Bird will hit indicated 190 on the A32 in 2 places on standard gearing  :D  and seen 210 on speedo on the straight at the ring.
 
95 BHP is good for 145 and that's about it. Irrespective of speedo, bullshit etc.
Need 165 BHP to see 185 with good aerodynamics

Which is pretty good considering the aerodynamics of an upright commuter.  :D

flatter bars and later fairing help but I have the sail area of a barrage balloon so yes it is. My 95 bhp XS1100 in the 70s did the sameish without the fairing but had to lay flat
