I got Hettie up to 95, that was after the engine rebuild and the engine was fully run in. But, I agree, they aren't long distance cruising bikes (the hard seat is a killer on long distances for a start) , they are at their best on twisty roads, using high revs and being ridden like you stole it. That is when they are very, very happy and run at their best, they just love it.

I agree with the previous comments, in many ways my 400 reminds me of my old 1960's Honda 250 Super Sport - a decent head wind meant dropping a gear to maintain any sport of speed.

" Max. speed testing years ago involved involved such things as unbelievably high tyre pressures, rear chain de-greased and given a light dose of 3 in 1 oil, the rider wearing tight leathers and laying flat on the tank, feet on rear footrests, left hand holding top of left fork leg, and peering between the clocks."
I guess this would do it...https://silodrome.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Rollie-Free-Vincent-Black-Lightning.jpg
