What is the top speed on these Concours? My 06 hits 120 and won't go any faster Unimpressed

Is it electronically limited? Also it doesn't seem to want to run over @ 9000 rpm when accelerating through the gears.

Thanks

I once had my 1999 up a little over 120 and it could have gone faster but it was starting to wallow and I was afraid to push it any further. That's about as close as I ever expect to come to finding out how fast it can go.

Ok Mccolo, since my last post my dealer told me there are no electronic limiters on it. I have since taken out the inlet baffle in the air box and performed a bafflectomy on the bike. Since that operation I have had it up to 125 @ 8000 rpm. I am at 5200' elevation, so I suspect that is all she'll do at this altitude?
I had suspected that the jetting was too rich for my elevation, but it's really not that bad now, since the mods I made. Next I'll try a K&N filter & see what that does.

Thanks for sharing that
