Stock Speed--oxymoron??? I don't think so... Being the Darksider I am I must first qualify my former 'stockness'. My 1600 cc was balanced and the compression was 8.5:1 w/baffled stinger (suprized????) The stock dual solex were the carbs. It would cruise at 85 all day long! It would also peg the needle on a 2% down hill. Granted, much of this 'power' was the extra pressure and octane, but it can happen. Now however, the Roadster will 0-100-0 in 4/5 of a mile and 120 on the speedo is not a problem...but like Greg, age is mellowing the need to do it frequently. But I still like having the ability!!!!
