Even though I got the bike in early January, between the painter taking it
for four weeks and being overloaded with work, I haven't been able to ride
as much as I would like. With the ride this afternoon, I am up to 1900 miles.

travelled 15 miles at 110 mph (120+indicated) and they moved only for road
vibrations (i.e. stuff I felt through the handlebars)

I have a short straightaway where I can play and was able to hit 133.5 (on
Sigma) in 5th (145ish indicated on ST speedo) before having to slow down to
avoid slow moving SUV's. Still had more room in that gear before redline
and then room in 6th (if I had the distance). Depending on the ability of
the FI system to deliver enough fuel, I would predict possible speeds in
the mid 140's (indicated 150-160).

asked my dealer today - he has not heard anything new.
