Hey Merlin. My trusty old and much loved Norton Commando will do 120mph (on a dark night on the M4) but because it is a grand old lady now, I know she can, she knows she can show her teeth and her Norton growl - and I don't want or need to flog it to death, I just keep it to sensible speeds and might just open it up occasionally. Just like an old No4. To be honest, it doesn't have to prove itself....... in fact it doesn't have to prove anything. Just my take on things
