Re: confused.com - what woukd you go for?

I have a clasiic rapido 225 and that will not do 80...i'm running a 30mm PHBH carb, 48mm clubman, GP 200 g/box and i'm happy when it touches 70 (GPS), which is very rarely. Cruising at 65 is probably 5mph too much.

Just building my Avanti...then hopefully those speeds (65 and 80) will be achieved.
