Will your ST13 hit the rev limter in 5th gear ?
How fast have you had your ST?

It's all small stuff.

That's what Hubby said to me...
On our way back from NM, at a stop I said "Hey Hon, you do know we are hitting speeds over 100." he said your speedometer is off to begin with and it is off by 10% the faster you go (not word for word but close) he say with a grin
...I didn't buy it. So I really don't know my speedometer is apparently wrong and I was a good girl going the speed limit...

Yes. And I am very careful to not bump it off the center stand at that point.
Sick. Just sick!
GPS -144
155 or so indicated. Hard to read the speedo at that speed.

No, it will not. 142 mph GPS on my bike is about 8200 rpm. The rev limiter shows up at 9250 rpm.
I had mine up to 127 once. Got in a drag race with a car and cleaned his clock! I didnt look at the speedo but was re-setting the GPS the next day and saw the max speed. Got kinda sick to my stomach...................
137 according Mr Garmin - no issues

Got in a little contest with a Mustang. He was me coming 2 lane road. He bumped it up to about 100mph and then I proceeded to drop him like a hot rock.
About 120mph tops Saturday.

except for those pesky LEO's handing out performance awards. 
I had just left riding on the Salt Flats (the car washes out there won't let you rinse off the salt for some reason) so after finding a restaurant who left their garden house outside and hooked up, I rinsed off the bike and opened it up to well, dry her off. I was running about 115 (fastest I ever when on a bike) when I hear a trucker talking about a hot trooper (or sheriff) on the CB. Next thing I know this woman cop is passing me! That was a good feeling 
I backed down shortly after that.
By the way, the Salt Flats...ain't flat! Thats a rough surface, but kind of cool that you can get lost in plain sight.

Only got as far as 202 Ks per H, about 126.5MPH Approx. Encountered traffic so had to slow down...

I agree!!!
143 MPH saved on the Garmin. 150 MPH on the Speedometer. It is quite irritating that the Speedometers are so far off, My first ST1300 was 7 MPH off and my current ST1300 is 4 MPH off. This also means the actual mileage is off as well.
I've had my ST1300 up to 125mph.
I've had my ZX11 up to 175mph. Not so much a twitch at that speed. Like it was riding on rails.
It's not something I do all the time. A majority of the time I am perfectly happy riding at the speed limit. But there are times when there's no traffic that I dial it up for a short burst of speed just to remind myself that I am riding a fairly quick motorcycle.

Just got her, had to see what she had in her. Up to 135 and back down smooth.. That was enough. Usually run Speed Limit +12 ( give or take a couple)
