    Obviously it was on a disused airfield or perhaps a track day.
    Forum help and advice needed?

    So's doing 110mph in a 7.5 ton truck, but I've done that also...

    Besides, when on the motorway 90mph is slow compared with most of the traffic.

    193 Kg is the kerb weight - the Japs quote figures without fuel, oil and even air in the tyres! When you think about it, the Dakar would be about the same weight as a TA 650, and only 13 kg less than an AT - and it has only one cylinder? Possible, but they wouldn't sell many.

    for the sake of 13kg, it just makes the argument for the AT even better
