First test ride - GK76a - bike slow?

Now the 400 is taxed and tested I could have the first real ride of it...
To be honest I was really disappointed and headed back home after 10 mile. It handled nice and sounded the part but a real lack of power. It was sloooooow!! In 6th it wouldn't pull more than approx 95mph and I'd have thought the overall acceleration to be quicker. So I'm thinking the bike must be restricted to maybe 33bhp??
Think I'll be getting it booked into a garage and having a K&N fitted whilst it's being set up.
