  What's your usual speed on the expressway on a phantom 200?
  i go at 110, and the thing is, it's just 100 on a car.
  comments?

  Hmm..ok wat..the speed i think...anyway speedos for small bikes are usually inaccurate...the faster u go, the larger the difference

  i oso hit 110 indicated when smooth traffic, occasionally at nite when very clear expressway i hit 120 indicated tho i dont stay at that speed for long coz bike feel very light, and unlike the nsr, on the phantom the wind hits u squarely on front of ur body feel veri unstable. and yes like most small bikes wif analog speedos it is off by about +10kmh.

  for TA150
  
  cruising at 6th gear:
  -80kmh at 4000rpm (most comfortable speed, engine sound very quiet)
  
  -90kmh at 5000rpm (getting abit stressed at mid range, but enough for overtaking vehicles on the left lane)
  
  -100km/h at 6000rpm (the engine sounds slightly different from wat u hear at 80km/h, gd for cruising on the expressway, speed limit 90km/h is actually 100km/h on ur analog meter)
  
  -110km/h at 7000rpm (valve opens, different engine sound, can feel the acceleration if u throttle more)
