Su has had 75 on her xmax 250 on a short section of road and she wasnt trying to go fast.
We have had 108mph on the 650 Burg 2up before I had to slow down for traffic.
(Fz1s 156mph via gps with 2 tooth lower front sprocket for lower top speed, but faster acceleration )

Re: What's your scoots top speed?
If you believe all of the last post then I'll also have a guess at 135
To be honest took it to a speed which I can only say was uncomfortable
sat nav read ? speedo said ? I'll leave you to fill in the gaps

Re: What's your scoots top speed?
I reckon my X7 does about 65mph on the flat, but you can get a clock speed of just over 70, a mates piaggio x9 125 evo is quicker and he reckons about 75
leaves mine any way
