OK, I give up....

Let me get this right.  You have a bike of 1100cc and it takes you (over!!!) an hour to travel ~40 miles?

 

Move.

Heathrow section of the M25. Much of the time I'm filtering at 25 - 30 mph. With the current roadworks, some sections have temporary lanes that are too narrow to filter through.

 

On a clear weekend morning, I can do the distance in between 40 and 50 minutes which isn't bad considering the urban sections and the fact there are more cameras than a society wedding.

45 mph can be pretty much a fair average speed, depending upon traffic conditions, traffic lights etc, etc. Travel isn't always straight down a motorway or in open country.

Depends where you live. The roads here are so uncongested that I normally have to be very restrained with the right hand until the beastie is warmed up. Only on rare occasions do I have to filter. Just lucky, I suppose.

 

Not to mention happy.
