Ah yes, the old "how fast on my tourer, officer?" bit. While I was initially sorry that the MS was launched with the 2v engine, given the speeds I've been reaching even on my semi-regular commute on the 4s, an aircooled Duke may be the only thing that saves my license. I'm also a marked man with part of Surrey plod, but that's another story...

I do love the 4s though - last bank hol, I was coming back across Exmoor on the A39 when I spotted a new Daytona 600 behind me (turned out was a Triumph press bike) and thought, "he's got some lean angle on", then had the realisation that I was doing the same speed, two-up, with panniers and a tank bag.
