Have to agree on the above 100mph problem with the mirrors. On our ST 
they seem to be ok on smooth roads until you go over 100, then the whole
top half of the fairing starts to vibrate, which causes the mirrors to vibrate
at a higher frequency. Oh well, I guess at that speed you don't want to know
if there is flashing lights behind you :).

> Has anyone seen top speed yet?

My wife has reported that she was unable to get the bike to read over 150 on
the speedo, must be time for the carbon pipe and re-tune.

Our dealer has the sending unit on order, and hopefully has contacted the US
Warranty dept as I have ask him to do.

Ouch!!! That seems a bit steep. Here in the backwoods(ie. small mountain
community) of Colorado, full coverage of our ST is under $200, including
rider education and fair weather rider discount, the later assumes you don't
ride when you are snowed in like we currently are.
