Got 224 km/h (gps) with mine 2021 standard , pretty near to the rpm limiter on 6th gear
 
... it probably felt much higher. :oops:
... but looked s-s-s-l-l-l-o-o-o-o-w-w-w-w motion.


" ... oh ... ... ... my ... ... ... f ... f ... f ... bomb ... ... g ... awd ... ... ... ... ... [big long pause here] ... ... crap."


Magical, eh? Our perception of time and space, especially when it involves any motorcycle (except dirt bikes).
 
Be careful if you live in Ontario because when you are charged for Speeding over 50 km/h, you are not given a traffic ticket with a fine, but instead receive an automatic summons to court. ... In addition to a fine between $2,000 and $10,000, your conviction will dramatically impact your insurance rates and could even mean up to 6 months jail time.
 
Got 215 km/h (134mph) riding alone, it reached the max. pretty quickly but looks like it got locked on purposed. It felt the engine could do more but is programmed to stop at 215.

In general I don't have a problem with the penalties. I do however disagree with the punishment being performed by the officer on the scene rather than the judge in a court room.
 
Well I’ve got 113mph on gravel
115mph on hard packed dirt. (I’ll have to find that pic of the sat-nav)

A new tactic in Ontario is to publish photos of the impounded vehicle being hauled away on Facebook, Twitter, etc. with identifiable details left plainly visible as a deterrent to others. The public loves it, and will aggressively mock anyone who doesn't.

Fun fact: Running Man - the Schwarzenegger flick about mob justice in a dystopian future - was set in the year 2025.
 
I have made 197km/h in my 2018 ATAS DCT. Interestingly , it reach the top speed with no hassle, very stable , no shakes no vibrations, it was just pushing constantly and then it stop accelerating at 197 and stayed there 196 - 197 . The engine sounded like it has more to give.
I assume it's electronically controlled.
All in all that is way more power than I ever need , but now I know there is a cap in speed.
