Brooke, that is my daughter, went out riding yesterday and hit the 160mph mark and that stands as my new land speed record. The road was clear and conditions were good. 160 does feel a bit faster than the old 150 mark.
Top down as always.
When we got home and I told the wife she just rolled her eyes and was not impressed. Like I thought she would be.???

60-130 mph is a good bench mark to compare performance, its sort of a petrol head constant factor for comparison purposes. most forums will quote 60-130 as an indication of power
My 911 would accelerate 60-130 in 6.8 seconds with 650 bhp.
A 1000 bhp 911 will pull sub 4 seconds. and a 1200 bhp 911 low 3 second mark.
My 0-60 was 2.8 and 0-100 6.5 seconds. Top speed in 1.4 miles 200.11 mph.
Here is a Video of the GT on an banked circuit being driven for Top gear to see if the top speed is what Bentley really claim. Sorry if its been on here before.

That's what I thought and therefore the cars we have are a bit faster and more refined. Did any one see him hit the 200mph mark? I would still have to ask if the speedometer can be trusted to be accurate? I will start another thread about that.
