    Your probably asking the wrong question as possibly no owners are too bothered as that's why we have them. Eric

    I think I've seen 112mph as a figure somewhere. I wound my 04 T100 up to a point where the needle nudged over the 100mph - just to see and haven't done it since! Not really the Bonnie's style or strongpoint.

    Thanks....exactly the answer I give when my 'friends' with the Japanese 'racers' as they crawl off their bikes after an hours riding all stiff and cramped because of their hunched over riding position... I only asked as I thought I ought to know... and is the last thing on my mind when riding round the twisty bends at 50mph with the exhaust blatting off the hedges...

That said you have to have pity on them for they knoweth not the grievous error of their ways.

    I know a friend who got it to 110mph, and then had to roll off it, but said it was still going up, probably could get to 115mph :)

    Doesn't achieving the top speed on a motorbike depend on loads of things such as size and weight of the rider, what they are wearing etc etc?

    Who cares, really? You either like your Bonny and enjoy what it does, or you get something else?
