        I have touched 131 kmph on NH 4 while going to Kolhapur, i have felt it smooth at high speed too, its obvious that there will be vibrations at such speed,
        Replace the words "I have to" with "I choose to" and notice the difference in how you feel.

          ya actually by saying stressed i meant with the vibes..i haven't ridden a P220 on that speed so just can't compare both of them

                      p220 is fun, power is simply superb
                      ZMR on other hand performs good and very comfortable too .

                      have to finish run in for complete review .

                      changing to M45 during 1st service

                            claiming 130kms on zmr Though i'm not dissapointed coz i'm not a speed maniac there's not end to that but confusion has taken over is me that Is my zmr different from other zmr's ??? if not why not the claimed speed one more
                            thing my chain is loose could it be due to the that any answers ???
                            bro I've touched 121k's myself on my ZMR & still their was more crunch to it..some other day i'll take it above this..one of my friend touched 134k's on speedo which exceeds claimed top end by company so the bike is very much capable of reaching its top end may be their is some tuning prob in your bike which SVC center guys can solve in your bike's next service..

                              I second this thought

                              top speed is also dependant on lots of factors like:

                              Condition of your bike
                              Weight
                              Cross wind
                              Air pressure
                              Chain cleaned or not
                              How you have driven in first four gears when u tried top speed

                                I was being too careful with the bike never took it above 4000rpm Somebody
                                told me that the bike should be revved hard during running in period.
                                Air pressure in front tyre should be 29psi whereas in rear tyre it should be 33psi.... You should have changed oil in first service itself... Anyways next time you try top speed try to rev hard in 3rd and 4th gear before switching to 5th....
