bikes usually take time getting to 3 figure mark after 80 due to high increase in air drag and viscous force experienced by the rider after this speed..if u lean n accelerate, u might be able to post a better acceleration in the range..also at higher rpms the losses in the moving parts increase considerably and hence u need to push the throttle a lot..that's why rpms around 4-5k give the best mileage..
u might go for k&n air filter, free flow exhaust,iridium plugs, sprocketing and upjetting if u wish to increase the performance..bt mind u, these adjustments need a trained mechanic to be able to get optimum performance.. Also u need to take greater care of the engine since it now becomes more vulnerable..changing oil frequently will somewhat prolong its life..
