RANS Stratus XL with front fairing and tailbox (2002): 59 mph downhill in northern Michigan (just a nice hill, no mountains in MI). +++++++++++++++++++ Quest (2011): 70.8 mph eastbound down McDonald Pass (using the brakes liberally trying to keep a reasonable speed). Quest (2011): 65+ mph southbound over the Salina River north of Hays, KS (later found out that the Cateye speedo I was using had a maximum speed display of 65 mph so now unsure of real speed). Quest (2011): 50-55 mph Tucson, AZ every single ride on many different roads 2-3% grades Quest (2011): 38 mph (3+ miles) Tucson, AZ ran out of gears on flat (+/- .5%) road while successfully trying to lose an annoying DF rider attempting to draft. Analysis: weak, still overweight rider on awesome bike!
