Boomer seems to believe it.  :sleep1:
Next time I have the chance to go onto the Autobahn without the topcase on (last time I went near 140 and was concerned the flimsy thing would fly off if I went any faster) I'm sure I can prove him wrong.  :yes: :yes: :2guns:
The later you brake the longer you go fast.

As seen in the code in the ECU by Guhl Motors in the USA.
08/09 models have the limiter set to 300Kph/186Mpg.
10/11 models have it set to 250Kph/155Mph.

Not that I plan on doing those kinds of speeds in the UK, but my personal momentary maximum was around 165Mph on the speedo, on the A3 in Germany.

Ive done 150mph on the autobahn with topcase and panniers fitted..

Dont see what the problem is...  :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol:

150 according to GPS or speedo?
My speedo was nearly up to 160 and my GPS showed only 140 when I decided to slow down.
With only the panniers on I would have gone faster but I just don't trust that flimsy topcase. 
Especially when it is overloaded, which it usually already is the moment you put anything in it.   :ohplease:
After all it was designed to be fitted on the back of a scooter and not a 160+ mph touring bike.  :death:
The later you brake the longer you go fast.

- yes, with the GTR - the speedo over reads the speed by a pretty significant amount at higher velocities.

- eg , speedo shows 220 kmh , but gps only reads it as slightly less than 210 kmh.
