a kid i work with has a seat lean 1.6 on an 07 plate.

It's not modded mate but as soon as you hit 115 it's like it hit's a wall (on a track obviously)

not limited by the manufactures, limited by the 1.6 lump itself having no more power

theres no limit for the chip to remove, tho the chip may give you a little more power, should do 116mph then
