Given about a 230lb rider (me) and enough flat road, will this thing redline in top gear or not stock? HOw fast would that be?Generation II, that is.

 
Your weight has nothing to do with top speed. You'll simply need more flat road than a 120 pounder.

A mile or two north or south of 155 is often quoted. Be prepared for some aerodynamic instability above about 120 with bags on and the screen up.

If you wanna see one at 137 (per gps), take a look at: https://www.veoh.com/videos/v876148hFmkgtC2...4085&rank=4

Very, very nice search. In fact, I'd call that the most definitive ever.....and no need for yet another thread on this question. ...meanwhile I'll ponder this in an FAQ somewhere.
