A correction has to be made on your data on this bike;
The correct hp is 120@9000 for the european version, and 135@8500 with the US camshafts (non-californian).
The top speed is also wrong;
It is measured with a radar (in a German magazine in 1984 or 1985) on the Autobahn in Germany to an honest 282kp/h with only the mirrors removed.
I have ridden mine (135hp) to 280 (on the speedo) with a passenger... in Germany. However, you should stay clear of curves with this bike, as the handling is terrible (in any speed...).
