Hi!

Well that's one reason I suppose - but I just like winding up these slow TDM riders

245 on the clock for the 900 
, (haven't seen that on the Biffer - max on the CBF is 235+ on the clock which was 221 real), they are not so slow after all!!

A bike of this size / weight and rider position with 85 bhp will struggle reaching 210 "real" km/h, maybe a tiny bit more with an elfin sized rider and the winds blowings favourably. Not sure how accurate TDM speedos are though, if it's up 10% you'd be looking at over 230 km/h 
Anyhoo, more than enough if you ask me, I hardly ever breach 160 km/h or 100 mph and when I do I usually feel bad about it afterwards.

Y'know, I thought your bike was "sprightly" at the RTT last year Tony - looks like you've got a good 'un.......
thnx AE.it was mainly down to me following amarkos lines.
I'm glad i've got a goodun, coz the RTW trip is looking more likely
yesterday my senior manager agreed in principle to me working in India for 2-3months and taking 3months to get there and with 3 months after for further (or return) travel.
his deputy (and head of the team in India) is over here in Feb, so I'm having a meeting with them then to work out dates
we have 3 sites in India (Chennai, Noida, Pune) and parts of our team in each.
so I should get a fair bit of sight seeing while there
