How fast would you say...

Does it really matter anyway? I know it would be nice to know, but anything over 85 is too fast anyway on these old bikes.

Yes, I agree for the most part.

I've recently added Progressive front springs & Ikon rear shocks, and had just tweaked the carbs a bit as well - I wanted to "air her out" and see if all that made a difference. I can say she was still pulling when I rolled off the throttle, and the shakes weren't too bad at that point either.

However, I don't plan on making a habit out of going that fast - just wanted to see what she had & the conditions were right.

Simplest way for us non engineer types is to mount a GPS, repeat the run, and go from that. Not perfect but capable enough to fly planes by.

With stock sprockets I'd say around 115. Possibly faster since 9.5 is redline.

Pretty close. Gearing on my 1000 (15F - 42R) which I think is the same as the 1100 would put me at about 120 mph at 8,000.

Ask one of the helpful CT policemen to tell you. I hear they have coffee at the booking office too.

What DOGMA said,..
If 4,000 rpm is 50 mph then 8,000 is 100 mph, and so on.. as long as you are in the same gear. Like he said, the errors would still be included as would be the case on a 150 mph speedo also. Close as can be with a speedo. works in any gear too.
