I had to ride a 750 Roadster works hack, from Wolverhampton to Bradford.  Its top speed was a bit over 105mph, mile after mile.  I can't remember what it was revving at except that it didn't seem too high.  Based on my completely empirical "cruising speed" formula the revs to make me feel "comfortable" would be 75% of the red line (7,000 rpm?), would have been around 5,250, all you experts out there does that sound somewhere near?  As the works hack, this bike got the minimum maintenance so it was probably in need of a good tiddly up.


The 143mph was a reality, as was the 12 and a bit second 1/4 mile claim, that so many have decided is "Poore Propaganda". 

cheers

wakeup
