You checked your speedo against anything reliable Skates? I was a bit underwhelmed bringing my 750 reliant engined trike home, had a bit of steering shake at 45 and being first trike I didn't want to see if I could ride through it first day. When we stopped on services it seemed my speedo was well out, when it read 40 I was doing 60. I was just lucky I didn't get pulled up in Hull, I would have been doing 45 in the 30's

use a sat nav to check,
revs running in arnt as important as load and variation of revs,and the hot/cold cycle,
as long as you dont rev the tits off it and be sensible itl be ok
