It doesn't do 78mph.
Total Vauxhall have fact wrong about most vauxhalls, but people believe them.
Google says the Veyron has 1001bhp, when it has more like 1150bhp....
I'll go against all the little chavs that tried to keep up on the motorway in the way into work every day......

You would be suprised the amount of people that use GPS readers as actual speed indicators. 90% are not calibrated right and will show an in-accurate top speed.

Cant be arsed arguing as im obviously wrong
All i was trying to say with a few mods they can be nice and quick,and their decent enough for commuting.
Im not even that keen on them,i prefer the aerox 100 slower but more stylish

Not arguing at all, im just saying a few mods will not take a 125cc scooter past 100mph like u've said it would.
Your going on what your mates have said/what you read, im going on actual road experience and having the unfortunate experience of owning of a poncy scooter for 2 years......
I saw 93 on my speedo, doesn't mean I ever actuall;y done 93mph.
