No torque, crappy top end, but the reverse gear was a nice touch. Might be OK if you threw some 6 degree trees and more chrome on it.   Logged     Ask me about my attention deficit disorder or my pie or my cat. A dog. I have a bike. Do you like TV? I saw a rock.

LOL, I had to use those for a while after my accident and let me tell you Wally World takes a dim view of hot rodding those things around the store. I had a manager come back and ask me to slow down after some lady complained about the speed I was going...True story.   Logged     A Happy Traveler has no Particular Destination   The administrator has disabled public write access. #510609 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5268 Re:How fast is too fast? 10 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Guy is talking out his rear end. with 148k on the bike, I can't even to begin to count the miles I did running at 80. My last 80mph mileage check was holding 80 steady for 121 miles and I got 40mpg. at 80 in 5th gear, my rpms are in the mid 2k range, and I'm still in my Tq power band, I won't even down shift to pass.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #510620 fishhead (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 384 Re:How fast is too fast? 10 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Well yesterday I found out how fast is too fast !!!!

I ride 75-80 all day on trips! I have also noticed are speedos are 4-5mph's slow.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #519484 tlaccopp (User) Never Dig In, Always be on the offensive Gold Boarder Posts: 671 Re:How fast is too fast? 10 Months ago   Hits the wall at 112MPH? My speedo at top end up against the limiter shows 105 MPH. I ride on the interstate around 75 MPH all the time, 65 on the 2 lanes. Any slower the bike seems to be lugging. I have on occasion riden for 2 hours straight between 80 and 85 and she's not even breathing hard.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #519501 Mudball (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 142 Re:How fast is too fast? 10 Months ago   I drive a lot. In the past I drove way to fast but the last couple of year while in a car or truck I put the cruise on at 75. Were I have trouble is on the bike I find myself going way faster then that on the interstate. The sad things is most of the time I'm not even in a hurry.   Logged     [img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #519523 RabidRoadie (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 413 Re:How fast is too fast? 10 Months ago   My Roadies speedo at the top end is 140! I'm pretty sure I will never see that on this bike.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #519532 Deerkiller (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1577 Re:How fast is too fast? 10 Months ago   I just read thru this whole thread, start to finish. Very entertaining! I've run entire tanks of gas at or above 90mph on long expressway trips. Never had a problem. Change the oil a little more often if you're worried about it. On the other topic in this thread, my stock 1600 would hit the wall at about 105-107 indicated (my speedo is about 3mph off) After the 42mm Mikuni, Dyna 3000, ported intake manifold, Dyna coils, and K&N, she indicates 120mph on a nice long stretch of road that was nothing on an R1, but I like to keep this one under 100mph.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
