My guess would be 12MgB2 but it might be 13 or 4,000.

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

Just a wild guess I reckon, as you've forgotten altitude, body mass and prevailing wind Wink

Dunno.... He rides a C90 and I have a GS Laughing

However now we know the gear, I can tell you that 5500 revs should give you an indicated 70mph in 6th Wink
