Oh yea, remember them well. Joan Claybrook, head of US dept of Trans or something, thought if the speedos only went to 85 no one would go faster than that. I remember riding a CBX once with the 85 speedo. Was coming down a 2 mile straightaway and approaching a bend, down shifted 3 times and never did get the needle to move off the peg. Stupidest thing ever. Nearly got me killed. Wonder how fast I was really going?

Don't ride like that anymore!
