I was talking about MPH, I just ended up getting 125 MPH(200 km/h) this afternoon. I had the wind in my favor so I couldn't resist. It runs at a top, doesn't need jetting because of poor running condition. But like any bike, I imagine it is running lean like because of emission standards. I'm just looking for more power. Maybe exhaust, filter and jetting is all the performance mods I'm gonna find for this cause of it's age. I don't want to start digging into the motor to make it a race bike, I still want reliability. I'm happy with it so far, it's a nice bike and I want to keep like that. Now that I know how fast it will go, I'd like to see what kind of fuel mileage I can get out of it. Lately I've been getting around 170 kms before hitting the fuel light. I'm gonna ride it easy now and see if I can get 200 before the light. One guy told me his on average gets 200 kms and then another 30 on the reserve tank.
