  2. It's a totally different bike and, by all accounts, crap.

  3. The 650 version is *excellent*.

    I think the 400 might be a bit wet.

  4. Sounds like fun.

    I'd also bet that the speedo will be indicating 70 when the GPS says
    60.....

  5. Ah yes. Good point - I hadn't factored that in at all. If that's the
    case them I'm totally screwed. We'll see...

    Well, if you're going to write custom code to interpret the GPS data
    then don't worry about stopping at 60. Just nail it till you run out
    of speed.

    When you process the data, look at the 60mph on that.

    Shows a Virago 250 going for 1395 quid - bit too far off the dosh limit?

  9. Yeah, that's exactly what I will be doing. I meant that I'd be screwed
    as far as doing 0-60 in ten seconds goes if it turns out my speedo is
    over-reading by that much. Zero to an *indicated 70* would take the
    better part of 30 seconds, and that's assuming no headwind!
