1/4 mile
12.11 seconds @ 109.25
I have driven cars (legally) at speeds to 135 MPH without concern for control, so I am not speed shy, though I normally cruise within about 10 MPH of speed limit.
Never had ossasion to exceed 110, maybe 115 on a bike.
With only a fly screen it is simply not comfortable.
So a supposed 110 speed limiter is of no concern to me.
After 1,000 miles on the odometer, I have taken it twice to 8,000 RPMs in second and in third. It is NOT slow. Rare to have need to exceed ~6,500, even at high altitude...climbing an 8% grade...passing...but nice to know what it can do.
The one time I continued accelarating in 4th, my attention switched from tach to speedo and I backed off as the needle was rapidly climbing from 110 to 115...hence the comment about the supposed 110 limit...did not notice the tach reading at that point.
