I can do 130 on the flat, however with a good headwind or up a mountain pass the speed will drop, on long mountain uphills I end up down closer to 80... just pull over with all the trucks and enjoy the scenery...

The straight-line performance reminds me of an air-cooled VW. I haven't measured it, but would estimate 0 to 100 klicks in 15 seconds or so. Ample for traffic and freeway use, in other words, but no speed demon.

I would have to echo marsgal42's comments: 100km/h is good for the Moon Machine, 110km/h it's still solid, but the wind noise is a bit much and the RPMs are a little too high for my comfort, so I try to keep it between the two. I've got a fairly agressive tire tread on and I think that is affecting my performance a bit more than if I had a strictly street tires on.

Ditto.
