Here's an interesting story for you about top speed. My son and I were coming down out of Canada from a trip and hit a stretch on the highway where it was straight as an arrow and about three miles long. We looked at each other and rolled on. My Sprint got up to an indicated 128 and held for a while. Then all of a sudden it picked up revs and kept going to 135. I found out the reason when I backed down and tried to look in the mirrors to see where my son was on his Honda and found the mirrors had folded back! I guess there's something to this streamlining thing afterall.
