If I was worried about mpg I'd own a different car, mine does 40mpg on a 300 mile run if I take it steady, 25ish is what I get driving normally.Mr. Dazzle wrote: Thu Dec 10, 2020 11:49 am
If I'm worried about MPG I'll take the car
My car with 5 seats and stereo will also do 80mpg on a run. Bikes are always shit economy.

Re: 90's bikes are the best!
My 3 series would quite happily do 120mph with one finger on the wheel i reckon, but I've not tried! I often lament at the speed limits, it'd naturally lollop along at 100mph nay problem.

Re: 90's bikes are the best!
I'd lose my license - I keep looking at Evo 10s but I don't think 300bhp and me would be a good idea, I bad enough with 140bhp.Mr. Dazzle wrote: Thu Dec 10, 2020 11:52 am My 3 series would quite happily do 120mph with one finger on the wheel i reckon, but I've not tried!

Re: 90's bikes are the best!
Funnily enough - my Opel Monza felt fine at high speed (I only tested it once, late one night down the hill to Marlow from High Wycombe). Maybe because it was a big heavy car?Mr. Dazzle wrote: Thu Dec 10, 2020 11:52 am My 3 series would quite happily do 120mph with one finger on the wheel i reckon, but I've not tried!

A German saloon is always gonna have great high speed stability. Bahnstormer innit?

Yup, when Helga takes the kids to school in a 3l diesel Audi at 130mph on the Autobahn she needs to feel safeMr. Dazzle wrote: Thu Dec 10, 2020 11:56 am A German saloon is always gonna have great high speed stability. Bahnstormer innit?
