The same bike at 100 mph would need 22 bhp and at 70 mph it would need 7 bhp. So for me the challenge is can I ride the bike to Bonneville at 70mph on the interstate, getting close to 100mpg over a 2000 mile ronnd trip, then run at 156mph on the salt then ride home at 70mph on the interstate getting close to 100mpg?
