Sorry I don't know how to put multiple quotes into a single post..
V1 is usually in the 100-125 kts range.
I was just getting ready to say "80 kts" when we got the yellow message. Capt was wishy washy about the abort for a split second. Not sure exactly what the speed was once they finally committed fully to the abort. The near over-run this time was mostly due to the capt's actions compared to the failure we aborted for. It really opened my eyes though. Aborting over 80 kts is not a fun thing to do.
