which 250 does 70mph for a longer stretch reliably? sure, a highly geared bike on a flat road without wind etc, but even more powerful 250s feel rickety and vibrate a lot at those speeds or if they have a heavy frame they may feel stable but only get that fast downhill twice a year for 30 seconds.

so i also reckon 70 means "absolute top speed observed from time to time for very brief periods".
