Notice how it says like Adagio, Allegro, etc? That's because we've been using these speeds for centuries. Allegro traditionally means (and I quote) "Quick and Lively" or "Cheerful" (wikipedia). About 120 to 160 I think. So classical pieces were written with that in mind I think. There's a reason it doesn't go past 208. If you can play even triplets at 208, I will consider you a shredder I can only do about 130 myself. Also if you're wondering about speed, Notes per second isn't always the best way to do it. For example, if you tap your notes, usually that is much faster sounding (and it is). Take a look at this thread. Notice how kris says he can tap 16th note triplets at 160bpm, which is quite fast. However when he picks every note, he "only" does 120bpm on 16th note triplets.
