There's a part of your problem -- you're accepting online brags as fact. My 16-year-old neighbor was super-excited to tell me how his new Chinese 250 could easily top 100 mph -- until I pointed out the difference between mph and kph...However, having looked online and at reviews, most people seem to at least be able to get over 70mph without too >much problem. (I am a fairly light rider as well - 70kg)
No to the performance issue being related to break-in,...
I was just curious whether the reason for the lacklustre speed was because the bike is new and hasn't been run in yet, or whether an aftermarket exhaust such as an Akrapovic or Leo Vince might fix the problem.

How did it help you save time?This helped me save time, thank you.
The flyscreen would technically slow your motorcycle down even more.Hello, did you get any further with the top speed?, I currently have the same model and I can get 55mph on a good flat road.
I’ve looked at a fly screen to see if that would help but like you I’m new to motorbikes as well.
Because it's not a Kawasaki. (not sorry)Why is my new Husqvarna so slow?
I"ve got the same problem, in 5th and 6th gear my svartpilen 125 wouldn't rev past 7k rpm on a long straight road. How did you change the settings? MIne has 620 miles and had it's first service a few weeks ago.My one was hitting 50mph mac in brake in period. When I hit 620miles and chamge settings after first check up so I could go over 6k rpm I got to 70mph in tucked position on small decline... but I am 110kg without my gear
2-stoke 125 should be close to hitting 88-90mph top-speed!!!Although I never owned a Husky, I knew people that did. In the 70's, They were 2-stroke, and had awsome acceleration, not sure about the top speed.
OK good! My wife's CB125T with 16.4bhp can hit actual 73mph (buzzed radar booth). There is aerodynamic technique:...
A quuck update, got to the bottom of this. The bike'a mapping is in a restericted mode for the first 621 miles, once you hit that, it should automatically let you rev higher and go faster up tp 70mph or so.
The key word is technically. They said the same to me when I put a full batwing fairing on my Honda 185 Twinstar. In fact it helped a lot simply because of your statement about the torso being a huge air brake. The fairing not only improved top speed but also improve fuel mileage. As if that little Twinstar needed that ¿¿¿¿¡¡¡¡ Will a fly screen do the same? Don't know but I doubt it will hurt. Directing the air over you, at least some, will help. How much is the true unknown.The flyscreen would technically slow your motorcycle down even more.
The answer may be what Zebraranger suggested. Leaning forward and going into a full tuck may make the difference between 50 and 70. Your torso is a huge air brake. Make your profile small and you'll speed up.
