The calculator at the top of the page gives a top speed of between 70 and 75 mph for Ironside's bike with a cd of .4 and a frontal area of 5.5 squ feet using 6.5 hp. Engines of up to 15 hp ( Lifane brand) are available in the horizontal cylinder configuration that will fit this frame. The standard machine has 7.5 hp for the CT110.
10 hp would give 80 mph, more speed than I would care to use.
