Ok to those in the know this is probably going sound daft but do i have a speed limiter .
The car is a uk spec 2001 bug eye
i was on a echhmm private road and got 147 and was not at the red line so can i go faster or is there a factory speed limiter in place oh and can i get rid ?

Yeh I had just short of 160 from my classic

Those bends are very sharp on the motorway

Best to use a private road
