Default Timed at 193mph

Took my antique 0W31 Yamaha to the Vincent owners club speed trial and got Vmax of the day trophy for my 193.7mph run.
First time I've run it on Daytona gearing

Believe it or not it was as stable as a rock (more stable than my mates '06 Blade imo). The only scary thing was that over 170 ish the wind noise drowns the motor so if it nipped errr... I'd be fooked
The rear Dunlop was totally shredded after just 3 runs
Can't access my photobucket but here is a picture of it when the previous owner had it.
