My top speed stock and lying on the tank was 95, dropping to 90 on a grade
There's a 10% error, so probably that's actually 90 and 85 respectively
with the new 140/90 rear tire my speedo is supposed to be correct, and I topped out at an indicated 85 with a big windshield on it
I haven't retested since Versy twiddled my carb on the Dragon trip

There's no way she'll spank a Sporty without engine mods, we're at a 23 HP disadvavantage, essentially our bike has ,2/3 the HP of an 883 (very rough estimate

S40; 30 HP, 400lb, .075 hp / lb
Sporty: 53 hp, 548lb .096 hp / lb


getting 40 hp out of an S40 would be a stretch

101.1 mph..........Ton Up!  Trail Tech Vapor speedometer correctly calibrated.

Wiseco 95mm, Stage 1 Cam, Mikuni VM34, Head Porting, Custom Muffler, Big foam air filter.

NOTE:  The 7,480 maximum rpm is not correct....my tach would spike for some reason and give false readings.

One day, temp and humidity were good, on a cement section of I20 ,
Tucked in tight, it made it past the line. Never got within ten MPH of it again. Didn't really try, honestly  , 80, 85, thats enough for me ,,

I've had it up to 85 before. It might have had a little left but not much. I usually try to keep it a lot closer to the speed limit, though.

If you aren't comfortable with it, don't push it.
I was recovering from a long illness, my wife bought me a Savage.
I was excited, right up until I sat on it, running, gonna ride home.
I almost couldn't. I had ridden bikes, but not for years.
I stayed on back roads for a coupla months before getting into just easy traffic. Don't let what you think others expect of you to affect your decisions. Empty parking lots, empty , uncapped, water bottles, dodging ,
low speed turns, practicing using brakes together,,

87.7 gps indicated.  I wasn't trying to break a speed record, I was just in a hurry.  I haven't done a top speed run yet.  I'm not sure I'm even inclined to put it to the test.  I will say that 87.7 wasn't terribly uncomfortable and there was plenty left.  I would expect I can get into the upper 90's but I highly doubt mine can break the ton...at least not with me riding.  I weigh 200 lbs.

Only basic improvements have been done. Muffler, filter, jets...Will do the rear tire on the next change, but I don't think it would make up the difference.

the 5 speed bikes will probably go faster in 4th than 5th, but still 55-65 is more comfortable
it's a cruiser, not a sportbike (unless you Cafe it  )
A windshield makes 70 much more tolerable though
