    Shit. I think this is current government policy in the Far North - except with the license (of any sort) requirement removed -

    But seriously, probably 140 if conditions allow. Any faster gets tiring pretty quickly...so I've been told.

    Things just get to damned serious over 200kph.

    I'd have to agree with you there, no way I would regularly cruise at over 200kph even if I was allowed to. I may have a burst for fun now and then, but I would tend to cruise at whatever speed I was in the mood for whether it was 120, 140 or 160.

    Of course as the law stands now I wouldn't spend too much time over 110kph because the fines eat into the money I want to save for another bike.
