110KPH = 89mph, possible
110MPH on a 250 Rebel with only "better" spark plugs, either you or your buddy that was clocking you should consider a career in science fiction.
What's your 250 top speed ?

That's what I get for trying to remember the conversion rate vs looking it up on Bing or Google.
The KPH is even more believable, but I'm still calling dudeman for the SAE unit of measure with that number.
It would be not bad if the Rebel engine could spool up like that.
Unfortunately the Rebel dyno chart ends before 11,000 rpm. Notice that the horsepower at 10,500 is back below 12 from a peak of near 16, and torque is down to under 8 ft-lbs from a peak that is about 50% higher. If stock gearing yields a typical top speed of near 80 at 8000 rpm and around 10.5 lb-ft. torque. There is no way that we're going to 110 mph and a much higher engine torque requirement at 11,000 rpm where we're down to 7 ft-lbs and change. It is pure fantasy.
