Well, I felt the need & just did it! Unrestricted model, could be a bit mad really, but I know (sort of) what I'm doing. Had to get the 2 wheel version of the Subaru as I have the 2 wheel version of the Landie!

really, but I know (sort of)
wheel version of the Landie!

How come your's will do 70 then?
My 200tdi 90 will do 60ish flat out...
Eh? To be honest it goes like stink for what it is! I reckon you have a speedo issue!!

We went to Buxton the other weekend and it did 60 - 65 all the way there. Speedo c*ck on to TomTom.. :(

GIT!!
CIHAGM?
Some are better than others, mine used to do 70MPH before the Fearns upgrade, the dealer said even then that the engine was "very revvy" and quicker off the mark than his. Now it's got the fearns upgrade it'll push 90MPH and cruise at 80.
My 110 TD5 with GKN overdrive cruises at 80 all day long and yes you can still talk to the passenger.
Fuel consumption drops from 29 to about 24 though
The overdrive is a massive improvement for Motorway driving

it's shagged, then, or the speedo's up the shoot.
Mine's an untrimmed 300TDi with bare metal all over the place, you can't hear yourself let alone the passenger but that's not because of the engine ;-)
IIRC mine returned figures between 34MPG and 25MPG but I can't remember under what conditions. Most of my driving at the time was
60MPH on the A303.
Lost me there buddy, just had a quick go, it is bloody stunning, easiest bike i have ever ridden!!!
Comfy as owt & the power is superb.
Got a full set of brand new Michelin tyres & the bloke even replaced the front brake pads this morning before he delivered it.
Booking it for a track day & I'll go see Lee's matey.

Can I have a go mister, least thats what my best guess is :-)

Really.......S**te!
Its got larger tyres (235 85 16) but the speedo is c*ck on comapred to my tomtom...
Its been like it since ive had it, so i dont think the roll has anything to do with it..
What do you recons up with it then? It pulls like a train, but seems to only want to go up to 60-65.....
Aye, good one!! Just a lovely machine, a real wolf in sheeps clothing, but VERY civilised & smooth.
Off for a good old ride next week.

Good effort, If you do seek out Nigels services you'll find him very enthusiastic about what he does, top bloke too.
Even records your training on DVD so you can see if your arse looks big in it when you get home ;-)

sorry, it's UKRM and UKRMC (motorcycle groups) shorthand: Can I Have A Go, Mate?
used whenever someone announces the acquisition of some desirable wheels.
