MAXIMUM SPEED DEFINITION

A vehicle`s maximum speed is dependent on many variables. Winds, temperature, altitude, tyre choice, fuel load, rider/driver weight, factory speed regulators (set for different countries), varying emission controls (set for different countries), etc all contribute to maximum speeds.

The maximum speeds given are compiled through manufacturer`s specifications and a variety of literature. Where varying maximum speeds have been found a sound average is given as an estimate (est).
