It was Paul G's MC18, formerly Stephen's I believe, which has had the wiring splice done. Having ridden it, I'd question whether there's another restriction to stop it passing 112mph - perhaps something in the speedo, ala NC30? My RGV is stock aside from a set of Nikon pipes (which are crap, to be fair) and a Pipercross filter (but road spec, not the freer flowing type). And I've not sorted the fuelling out yet, so it's not what it could be either.

And like I said, just because one was quicker flat out, that doesn't necessarily reflect the outcome of the test. We're not that small-minded that we'd base the outcome on numbers on a speedo. The three bikes were a good match in terms of condition - enough for us to make sound, unbiased judgements on them. The fact that one bike is mine won't make a blind bit of difference to the test.

PS will live or die by its reputation as a mag that does things fairly and researches stories properly. I'm not going to risk that by picking my bike as a test winner if it doesn't deserve it. We're only human, so we won't be 100% right all of the time. But we've got pretty damn close in the first 14 issues. Unlike a good number of other writers in this business, we're taking a lot of pride in doing things well, and doing them right. That's why in researching the buyer's guide part of the test, I contacted two people on here with the experience of them, rather than trotting out the assumed knowledge on NSRs other magazines wheel out year after year.
Feel free to contact me directly if we get something wrong - we'd rather be corrected and learn from it, but at least wait until the test is out before making a judgement on it.
