Only 90mph?

I took her out the other day for some errands. I was riding on a level surface and could only hit 90mph (maybe 91 or 92). Is this normal? Im 5'7" and 150lb. She has 5117 miles and is a 2010. I thought red was the fastest color?

By the way, lets just say I have a private runway and there was no speed limit. haha

Only if Kókkinos has the valves properly adjusted and the chain properly lubricated.

Have those been properly adjusted recently?

Kókkinos should roll a little faster than 90 mph, IMHO, especially if you tuck your upper body.

Some reference numbers were discussed here:

There aren't any tracks where you live. You have to go where they live. Also, there are requirements for track use. First of all, you have to be able to do a search for tracks.

I tried it again this week and it got up to 100. Must have been a headwind or something

I've done 107 indicated on my '09 250. Haven't taken my '10 for a test on that end but I hope to next month at the track!

And green is definitely the fastest
