I'm guessing that the engine had been broken in (maybe he rode it after the CARB/EPA miles), and that the bike he was riding had a speedometer like the RX3s, which seem to be about 10% optimistic. 73-7=66, which appears to be a reasonable top speed if you're WOT and heading downhill or flat with a tailwind. I don't think he meant to mislead anyone, but I also don't think he was quite as accurate as might be hoped. Time will tell as I put more miles on.
