Does anyone know what it is. Being told its 135mph. But is that true?

A well set up bike will achieve that easily.
The 180kph/112mph speed restriction circuit needs disabling.
In the heyday of the lightweight class at the TT ; one passed through the
Sulby speed trap at circa 160mph with 80 plus bhp.

Karl Jenkins (on another site ) by any chance ?

I see my post was quoted in a somewhat heated debate there;

If any would doubt the validity of the previous statement regarding top speed ; it may be more rewarding to invite the doubters join an informed and knowledgeable forum such as this one for discussion on the subject rather than bandying information back and forth on farcebook.

This does however depend on whether or not Paul would want or even allow the influx of new members whose technical knowledge reached their zenith once they learned to switch a so called smart phone on and off.

Or you could just tell the bloke he is an inexperienced nob!
