Why? Because when it gets to top end, it's miles behind the other two and the rider will spend the next two hours "Dusting his helmet"?

Nope! High speed doesn't interest me in the slightest, it's the sheer acceleration, the sort of acceleration you can't even get in a fighter jet or a Porch! \:D/

I'm the opposite, well, kind of. Acceleration is great but you can't beat going 150mph+

Some of you might think this to be profoundly
Un-Murkin of me (YOU know who you are!) but
I'd happily chuck both wild acceleration AND
triple-digit top speed for the ability to go round
a corner as if super-glued to the pavement.
That is what makes ME grin like a loonatic!
