Speed
LBMEFM - 2/6/09 at 05:49 AM

I have an MK Indy Fireblade with the 898cc engine and standard gearbox driving through a 3.62 Sierra diff. The wheels are 15" fitted with 195/40/15 tyres. To allow me to approximately set up the speedo in the workshop what sort of road speed should the speedo show at 6000rpm. Cheers.
