speed/revs
people
 my speedo is knackered and wont be repaired until tuesday on friday i am on a bit of a tour on the SV. could some kind soul post up the rpm in 6th at 60/70/80 and 120* on a standard 650SK3 so i can try not to get nicked for speeding, esp since part of my journey will be through the infamous M4 cameras! *only joking thanks!

This is how you check your speed
 http://www.abd.org.uk/gatso_photo_checking.htm Example: Suppose the vehicle passed 7 marks 5 feet apart in 0.5 seconds. Calculate as follows: 7 marks * 5 feet * 0.6818 / 0.5 seconds = 47.7 mph You may need the following conversion factors: Mph to feet per second: multiply by 1.46667 Feet per second to mph: multiply by 0.6818 Feet to metres: multiply by 0.3048 Metres to feet: multiply by 3.2808

5000rpm in 6th is about 65mph according to my missus, and will be for another 500 miles...

Oh how we laughed. Will, I'll check out the revs at those speeds for you when I go out tonight, since I go on some fast roads. Probably not gonna get the opportunity to check the 120mph on the a35, though. Well, not till after midnight, anyway. |

Best advice i can give is dont worry what speed you are doing.
 just try and maintain the speed of most cars as they travel thru the speed camera markings. And for regular travel just match or be slightly above a majority of the traffic and you can safelty assume you are doing about 80-90mph. Just check your mirrors frequently for unmarked cars and change lanes when you can to show good behaviour to any unmarked cars that may be watching you. hth
