180?? I thought it would be a little bit more. 190-200. perhaps. Well... you can tour at 140km/h then with the 180km/h speed.... not bad.

Only in Argentina and a few other countries can you do those speeds all day long... Here in Australia the max speed limit of 110km/h is well enforced...
On a side note, 180km/h must be all to do with ratios because my last Harley had less horsepower (65hp) and was almost double the weight (320kg) and the dash would show 200km/h at least - or so I heard ;-)

These are the numbers run for the Monster 796 which appears to have the same gearing as the Scrambler based on the specs I found.
Given your bike's ability to get up to 8250 RPM in 6th gear, it looks like you could get up to 220km/h (136mph) with the stock setup.

The Monster is 15/39, The scrambler 15/46.
From my test 140kmh is easily achieved, as easily as 180kmh on my 1100.
And thats very good to me because road limitation is 90 in france and if you go more thant 50 over you are in great troubles.
Downside, Higway is going to be a bit more boring.

Ahh, I hadn't seen the spec for the sprocket ratios. Thanks! For me and my personal taste, it's all about what happens with the engine at 55-65mph. If it's too buzzy, I may up the size of the front sprocket to lower RPMs. But that robs take-off of course.
I have no big plans to race or break speed records with the Scrambler. In fact, the way it's geared suggests it'll get up to speed pretty quickly which is more fun than top speed runs for me.

So are we good on the 180 km/h top speed?
Just want to know if I can cruise at 140, without feeling the engine is forced and begging to slow down.

180 seems pretty low, I think it can hit 190+. And 140 is not a problem for this bike..

I did the maths, and i could be wrong, but if the top speed is [email protected] on the 796 (i wish you quite much luck and a very long straight road), it's [email protected] on the scrambler.
As the drive ratio is shorter, it will be easyer to get to the top speed, but if you get 190 displayed on the tachy, i will call it a day.

Great news! looks you did the your math right Personne! 
I think it may go even faster. But it's riding position is similiar to my former MT-03. On that bike over 120 you were filing like big sail
I think the reason they do not quote the topspeed is that for the clientel at which this bike is aimed are not really interested in how fast it can go, sure its nice to know but not really relevant.
The MG V7 can hit 160km/h and thats it and its still the best selling MG out there. Apart from the fact that most countries in Europe at least have speed limits on and off motorways that do not exceed 130km/h, Germany is the one exception here.
Not everyone will be doing Wheelies and scraping their "Tortoises" on the Asphalt in corners.

I just tried Gearing Commander myself, but assumed that the final gearing was 15/46, with all other data as for the 796. I used MPH, as that's what I'm familiar with, but the conversion is straightforward. I got 116.3 MPH at peak BHP (8250) and 129.7 MPH at redline (9200).
