A bit over 70 on the flat with the hamsters taking it easy. Less as they work harder. That was one of the things that initially I found difficult when I got this beast - I was used to being able to listen to the engine note and know that we were going at a steady speed. I didn't notice it until it didn't work any more and I was going at every which speed, every time I looked at the speedometer it was different. I've gotten used to it now.
