2013 DT. Now just over 25K. 85 mph a few times on interstates. There was some engine vibration, but nothing that was effecting the bike.

When on fully stock, I had 145kmph highest, now with malossi I can do 130kmph easily, 135kmph is a stretch, 140kmph when drafting behind cars.

It's really not a good idea to draft cars at 140km/h friend.

Morning Karl!

Snorvey! Where you been? Have not heard from you for a long time!

That's because I've not had any problems with the DT.....

It does need a bit of a makeover though. The rear shocks need replacing, the engine needs servicing, the plastic is a bit ratttly and there's a worrying squeaking/groaning sound when you apply the front brake and 'bounce' the front forks.

Oh, and the first time you switch from low beam to high beam, the headlights turn off completely for a second or two. Which is quite alarming on a dark country road.

But I'll not bother you with all that just now :-)
