gis - you should know me better, video was taken from outside as I flew past - just gotta wait for the guy to edit it.
I did a little math on your gear ratios, tyre sizes and rpms... you were a gnats ball hair away from geared terminal velocity.

Its the 6 speeds you see, every one is so used to the 150-ish mph top end of the 5 speed - but the 6 speed looks to be good for 166mph at 7000rpm.

Good show.
