Speeding tickets.
These cars are smoother at 90 than most Jap cars are at 50.

130 is plenty to get you a speeding ticket.
Or jail time...

Took out up to 100 and asked my friend how fast he though we were going (He is a fast driver, and has had a couple of German cars).
He though about 70.
Have not had ours over 120, but is definitely made for autobahn cruising.

Looks like a twin to ours.
