I think he was meaning with relation to the 90mph bike he mentioned. I used to do about 10 miles of dual carriageway every day on my Virago 125, which led to the very proud day when I actually managed to break a 70mph speed limit (indicated) with the proverbial tailwind-down-a-hil approach, tucked in behind my apehangers. Now that sort of hopeless commuting machine really teaches you some stuff about not slowing down. Not like on a proper bike where you can get to any speed limit in under 5 seconds without having it break a sweat.

Everyone should own a complete *****er once in their life, if you've ever said an SV is underpowered or doesn't handle, you've never commuted on a Cub 90 or a Virago 125 or a scooter made of rust.
