Measured it today... speedo is healed and the tacho is OEM...
12kph @ 1100RPM on flat bitumen with no throttle and clutch fully engaged = a bit of a surge, mostly from chain slack being taken up on every engine pulse, but it's not unsettling.
Tractable acceleration from here upwards.
14kph @ 1400RPM on upward sloping concrete with clutch fully engaged = smooth and steady. (I can also slip the clutch at these revs and ride behind pedestrians on the same slope, without a revving engine noise unsettling them... there's very little to no gyroscopic inertia holding the bike up at pedestrian pace so turning becomes an art form on such a high bike.)
