Unless the UK version is much faster than those sold elsewhere, the performance numbers are way high. I wish my 500 could accelerate 0-60mph in less than 6 seconds! Forty horsepower can only do so much in a 550 odd pound bike. They also cannot do over ninety mph actual top speed if stock. I would add, I wouldn't dream of going any faster than ninety mph on the small diameter tires. Mine begins to lose its rock solid feeling as I ride over 80 mph.

yes it will do 100mph on the speedo non stock go faster

My 2016 ABS 500, does over 90 Easily on Level Ground...
Even though I have the CounterAct Balance Beads, the Front End does not feel very good over that speed.
I did this recently to test "Oil Blow to the Air Filter".

I have gone over 90 MPH on my 2008.
And it felt pretty stable (though I use Ride-On, not those beady things)

Hey thanks for the responses. I noticed you didn't comment about the acceleration claim.
My MP3's speedometer is a full 10% high. My understanding from reading other posts, this is actually normal. So 99mph on the speedo is really only 90mph. I thought I was really riding fast on my MP3, until I timed it on the interstate. I ordered a stick over decal on the speedo when I discovered it was so far off. My mileage went down 3mpg when I actually started doing the speed limit, so actually knowing how fast I was riding does have a down side.
