I just say : For GOD SAKE, start using the metric system, please! :-)
My moped does 90-100km/h so it is very much possible, not fo you maybe, but for me it is ;-P

Sorry pal, but I live in Britain, I will always use IMPERIAL measurements. i.e pounds/ounces, feet/inches, MILES, gallons & pints, and I still think in £/ shillings and pennies, i.e. 8 bob for a bloody bread roll! We also knew we were being ripped on the decimalisation, and no doubt we will again if (or when) we have to loose our currency and join in with the mickey mouse money system cause you lot are only capable of thinking in units of tens. You're lucky, us older ones and some younger have learnt the 2 'languages', some grew up with both, and some of us are sick and tired of losing our British traditions and ways of life to suit the EU. My bike goes in miles per hour & kilometers to comply with Europe.

I don't have GPS, my speedo only reads upto 80kph(50mph)...... not many of you appear to have rev counters, when I'm doing 50mph, it's revving at 7200rpm. my best speed run so far was (guessing) around 55mph but was revving at 7600rpm, I didn't want to risk going into the red 8000-10000RPM as I was about 20 miles from home,not an easy push home........ calis done some really worthwhile mods, I hope he can back uo his claims with GPS...........we'll all be copying him..........

You are claiming me of being a liar, calling me stupid, laughing at med etc! Do you often do this, dont belive what people tell and show you? Im not the problem here, its you lot that dont belive me, thats what bothers me. But wath the heck, I will avoid posting new threads in this forum. I just thought you liked to se my movie, apparently not The speedometer doesnt show the right speed, the grading is faulty I know this (but not more faulty than any other bike with this typ of speedometer). But my moped still does 90-100km/h and thats a fact!

I'm not saying that you got more storeys than the empire state building only that there is no point arguing about it as neither you or anyone one else has proof that it does or doesnt do that speed so lets all calm down #thumbs_up# Keep posting though i dont think anyone meant any harm we just like a heated discussion now and again #rofl#
