Buells have not much top-end in general (long-stroke lump struggles to rev, torque dropping off long before you get near the red-line), but 115 seems rather low, even for the less powerful new engines? Either the engine is still running in or maybe fitting all that after-market junk hasn't been done properly?

115mph and he thinks that is acceptable! My GPZ500s would go faster than that!

Take all the shite off it and try again, if it won't go faster than that, throw it back at the dealer.

+1 intake and exhaust mods;
-1 powerizer;
should look at re-mapping after new exhaust and intake.

I had a Vauxhall Chevette (all pushrod 1300cc 50bhp of it) that would indicate 120mph :roll:
ACTUAL speed was probably a good 25mph less.

I'm sure I saw 125 ish on my xb9 once or twice!
