No I haven't.
It should top out around 92mph.
Have you had it serviced recently?

Step 1: Get it fully serviced.
Have your guys look over it completely, checking everything. Drain and replace all the fluids - Brake, fuel, oil sump, final drive etc.
Replace filters and spark plugs, too. Check tuning, grease all the greasy bits - The whole sha-bang!!
Once she's all checked out, then we start seeing if she has a real problem!!

Could be, but my XVS1300 has a 33bhp restriction on it (until May this year!) and it'll do 80mph with me + the missus on it so I imagine the 650 would get above 60mph (assuming it's done right). Even my XVS125 with its 13bhp gets up to 60mph.
I guess if its getting a full service they could check out any restrictions while they're at it...
