This is speedometer-indicated I assume? 180 km/h betters Honda's claim of 106 mph (170 km/h), and I guess the CVT is better for higher Vmax than my manual gearbox.

I do agree that it'll take some time to get any speed past 120 km/h, as the low horsepower and asthmatic high-RPM behavior on GD1s means you better have a road as long as an unrestricted autobahn to get Vmax. I just about quit at 155 km/h on Clark International Speedway's quarter-mile as I had to brake for turn 1
