SV650X 117.64mph

I was a little apprehensive about this but the lack of other traffic or crosswinds made it pleasant. The SV650X pulled cleanly through the gears to peak power at 10,000rpm or so, as far as I could get it to go — an indicated 126mph. No bodywork, 75bhp and a fat geezer meant that I was the SV’S aero brick wall. But it was surprisingly stable and nowhere near as terrifying as I thought it would be. JB
