My guess would be 12MgB2 but it might be 13 or 4,000. _________________ It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes. - Douglas Adams.

Probably zero mph, as you make no reference to being in gear..... Go on...say a gear....any gear

Just a wild guess I reckon, as you've forgotten altitude, body mass and prevailing wind ![Wink](images/smiles/icon_wink.gif) _________________ Boxhill Chippendales

Dunno.... He rides a C90 and I have a GS
However now we know the gear, I can tell you that 5500 revs should give you an indicated 70mph in 6th ![Wink](images/smiles/icon_wink.gif) _________________ Boxhill Chippendales
