[St] Speed



Last year on a 00 i -allegedly- followed a bike and sat at 140.
Conditions were good and no animals around and i could have gone
faster but it was above the comfort zone.
my 05 has around 154 logged as highest speed from previous owner

Personally, i wont take it that high where there are the potential for
cars to switch lanes, sheep to run out or birds swooping low. Not
moralising, simply my choice.

I guess if you take the speedo usually reading a little high, it was probably maxing out at about 149 mph.  This is with stock gearing and tires.
