How fast do you guys get with the 1100's on the top end?

310 km/h on the speedo with ease, it should be around 175 mph with GPS. I believe it will do about 300 true km/h this year since the power is increased by about 20%. A full exhaust system, ported head and valve job, raised compression and lower squish, and other camshafts should hopefully provide that. The bike feels incredibly much stronger than last year and is very easy to wheelie on first and second just by opening the throttle. The front gear is 16 teeth, which helps, but the rear wheel is 20 mm rearward since I didn't cut the chain.
