Has anybody ever opened up a silverwing? Chickened out when i got into triple figures (69.9 m.p.h. melord) honest! and it was only just over 6000 revs........

... If it is a 33hp machine I'd be surprised if it is doing much more than 90 in reality - that is just about the limit to the top speed you can get from any...
Well, When I borrowed a GPS from a friend I went 90 indicated and the GPS said I was doing 84mph. There are others who have posted times on their Majesty and...
