Are you sure?

139??

My bike will be doing 150 at Snett then

That can't be right. Even with the standard, extremely tall, gearing on my 750SS I'm lucky to see an indicated 140mph flat out downhill with the wind behind me. By then its just touching the redline too.

I normally run with 1 less tooth on the front so it now tops out about 130mph at the redline but it can actually get there without a big hill.

Here is what I I have based on reving a 583 to 9000rpm in top and a 620 to 10000rpm in top



Standard gearing
600SS = 121mph
M600 = 115mph
620Sie =136mph
M620 = 130mph

The standard speedo is definitely flattering on an SS.
My 900 used to see 150+ on a regular basis, with dynojet K&N and cans.
The previous owner had done some work for MCN and had recorded a run through the lights at bruntingthorpe one day at 135.

So up to 10% of generosity backs up twpd's comments.

Must check my 916 against my mate's ex-plod Pan to see how it measures up.
