80+ mph. I say + because I backed off the throttle at 80.

I usually drive 150+ km/h on the highway. Limit is 130 and I pass others without problems.

I recently rode to Pittsburgh from Philadelphia on mine. My top speed was 85 when I was passing a small convoy of trucks. It felt stressed, but not exactly at its limit.

Yeah that sounds about right, similar to what everyone else is saying. I have achieved about 140 indicated on mine but not on 100% throttle.

At that speed you can't enjoy the Bud Lite cans and Mt Dews along the roadside!
Gotta slow down and take in the wonders....

85mph on certain toll roads (Texas)

It's stated from law enforcement the wrecks are not pretty on this section of road

Was that indicated MPH, GPS, or other?

When on fully stock, I had 145kmph highest, now with malossi I can do 130kmph easily, 135kmph is a stretch, 140kmph when drafting behind cars.

It's really not a good idea to draft cars at 140km/h friend.

Morning Karl!

Snorvey! Where you been? Have not heard from you for a long time!

That's because I've not had any problems with the DT.....

It does need a bit of a makeover though. The rear shocks need replacing, the engine needs servicing, the plastic is a bit ratttly and there's a worrying squeaking/groaning sound when you apply the front brake and 'bounce' the front forks.

Oh, and the first time you switch from low beam to high beam, the headlights turn off completely for a second or two. Which is quite alarming on a dark country road.

But I'll not bother you with all that just now :-)
