Kev I did a 40 mile run last night and to be honest I did not go much over 60mph anyway as I am trying to be careful while running in the engine and getting things settled. Yes first and second are very nice and good acceleration I then get to the speed I want in third and slip into fourth, thus this suits my driving style at present. I think you have to be very committed to a full bore run to get the best from fourth gear anyway.

I think you also have to remember this is not a modern high reving stroker but a gentlemens tourer really, I must admit if you give mine a big handfull in fourth it makes more noise than does anything else lol but I think my motor is still quite tight and has no run in yet.

I am out again Saturday and will give it a bit more stick to see what it does.
