The model in which I rode was credited with a mean speed of 62 m.p.h. by one magazine and 62.8 m.p.h. by the other. Although the instruction book recommended that 100 k.p.h. should not be exceeded, on the autobahn I saw speedometer readings of up to 120 k.p.h. (74 m.p.h.). I realise that the speedometer was probably optimistic but surely not by as much as nearly 20 per cent. ?<\/p>\n<p>I am, Yours, etc.,<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ruislip.   P.R.
