130 odd mph is fine for a couple of years. I have the 600 and it's really too fast to come close to maxing out on normal roads without a pillion. The way they tune them you have to rev for power but that also makes for a nice easy bike at low revs around town.

Just thought - you might actually understand the rules on A2. Did you ride the 400 on L plates (restricted presumably) before the test or were you stuck with a 125 plus a few expensive training sessions on the bigger bike?
