Exactly! The mph listed on the dyno chart has absolutely no relevance to the real world. At high speeds, aerodynamic drag is going to be the major factor in determining how fast you can go. Got a lot of drag? Then you need to overcome it with a lot more horsepower. If you take out the drag element, an EX500 could do 160 mph (with proper gearing).

yeah, some guy said it was a rip off, they don't dyno the bike the right way.

no wonder it's only $20.

im sure my bike will show higher numbers if i take it to a serious dyno place.

don't be so sure about that. if you take it to somewhere equipped w/ an eddy current dyno, it might even be lower - but more of a real picture.
