I can't remember exactly but I'd say the DD bikes would go round there around 100mph'ish? It was getting peaky in 5th with short gearing so I'd guess at 100-110'ish? DD riders, what do you reckon?

Getting a good drive out of Barn on the 996 would see you doing well in excess of 130mph I would have thought! Coppice at 130+mph? Any of us? I'd like to see that.

I agree. It had to be 100mph on the CB500. That was flat in 6th, and pretty much revving out on stock gearing. (Think they do about 110-115 if you have enough space).

I think I was going through there in 5th on the Tango Queen, but then I wasn't using all 6 gears even down Park Straight, so maybe I was going through Coppice in 4th?
