I have found that most speedometers on Ducs are very optimistic with regard to speed. Did you record the speed with a GPS unit or the speedo?
For example, my 748 shows 12% fast. The 750 Paso 8% and my Multi 3% too fast. The Cadet has a top speed of 50MPH and that is WAY too fast :-)
Sounds like you're having fun wringing it out. Keep up the good work!

Went for a ride with friends back in April, along the Thunderbolts way to Wauchope (Redpaso will know).
My wife Lynn on the back, topbox in company of a Honda ST1100 (2 up) and a Honda CBR900RR. They claimed 230kph, my speedo would not advance past 210, but calculating the tacho worked out at 220kph. That is fairly accurate as I have I have the 70 profile front tyre which makes the spedo accurate at normal speeds, as per timed over a measured distance.
