In their day, before possessed by youths in the mid 1950s, ordinary Sevens would very rarely be taken to 30 mph in 2nd (of 3) gears. Cranks stresses are high on a closed throttle and increase with revs squared. Not conducive to long crank life. What speed does it reach in nuetral? 
Apart from crank considerations, the usual down hill speed limiter is driver terror.
Is it really downhill or is it some optical illusion?
