Mike I fully agree with you.
The real problem here where I'm actually living is that there are no three lane
interstate highways and I'm sure that if I tried my bike in one of those I would be
more that confident to speed the bike up to the figure you stated, but over here the
highway is more like Le Mans circuit, where you need to make fast sweeps to stay on
the track and that is where our bike misses the target.
Thanks for your reply and enjoy your Max.
