I find that suspect. If we assume that when new the practical top really was 140, then considering the age and mileage, I'd say that 125 is about right on the money. |
It also depends on what numbers he was reading. I think the theoretical top speed of that bike in 6th overdrive at redline, might be that high. Lots of vehicles have outrageous theoretical top speeds, but don't have anywhere near the torque to overcome all of the accumulating aero drag. He just has to slow down a little and read between some of the lines, of the mag articles.
