  1.  
  2. 1600 sp.all stock.usually 55 sometimes creeps up to 60. 65 is noisy!
     
  3. 57 mph.
    & on the Brighton bash this weekend I got 30.6mpg - a personal best.
     
  4. Generally 55 (60 on speedo) feels just right,
     
  5. Sorry I clicked the wrong option ::)
    2000cc - 60mph is what I meant
     
  6. 55mph usually , i sometimes debate wiv myself , "do i cruise at that speed cos as a truck driver sometimes, thats the cruisin speed i"m so used to being at,"? (cos truck is mech. limited to that max speed) if being annoyed/hassled by nasty truck driver i floor the pedal and watch my fuel tank empty !
     
  7. I sit at around 60ish until I come up to a HGV and sit behind him in his 'slipstream'. Until a faster one comes along then I sit behind him instead. Eddie stobarts are generally pretty quick. Failing that wait for an European one as these sometimes seem to be limited a bit higher
     
  8. Type 4 1800 002 gearbox, and 60 - 70 is fine on the flat, but hills slow me down so I need a bit of a run up.

    Zed Gradually getting grumpier

    Mine's none of the above engine-wise, but anywhere between 55-65 for the sake of the handling and MPG and 80 overtaking.
     
  10. 60 - 65 mph just feels good at about 17 mpg. (that's 95 - 105km/h at 9.5 liters per 100km, did I calculate it right? :thinking:)
