I take mine to the other side of 200 on the NW Saturday mornings on the way to work when its lite traffic (re: NONE).. was a restricted jap-spec when i got it.. 180 is at the 5 oclock on the dial.. fastest ive seen is the 7:30 position and ive had to replace the speedo cable last week already

mine isnt stock in anyones book though.. about $5000 in upgrades overall (i could tell you, but then i'd have to kill you...." )
dont need a modern litre bike.. mine does fine after 13 years and 26000km

yeah i reckon them speedo cables are a problem with them. the old man had to replace his when he got it. i can't imagine leaning one like i lean the gn, you can get the gn onto the pegs and then a bit further cos the pegs are sprung.......though i only did that once i am still trying to teach myself how to get my knee down.

hehe .. you should see my tires.. bled to the edge ( not that its saying much.. still running the 16" Sport demon on the back.. )

still quite impressed with it in the twists (yes my suspension has been modded..)

the GN's are ok for handing if you ride them like a motard
