My newly aquired 06 silverado with road Burners,90mph (by my self)& still climing when i backed off it.
At my age it's all about the felling or the trq from a big v-twin when accelorating that's fun & not going a million mph,90mph was plenty.
I did that just to see what the bike could do just in case i needed to for what ever the reason in the future like accidentially pulling out into traffic tha going considerably faster then i ext[pected and need to get out of the way or need to know how the roadie would do when passing a car,it did just fine
IMHO esp for the lrg bike it is.
My other bike i have owned since new and riden for over 33 yrs ,well it it comes out of 3rd gear at 105mph/ redelined ,comes out of 4th at 130-135mph /redilned,and then when it hit 5th backed ogg it at approx 140-145 mph with it still slowly climbing but better sence kicked into my head and thats enough even though i was only a 25yr toungin at the time which was many many MANY!! moons ago./LOL!!!
Ok,i guess i should tell you its a 77 kawaski kz1000 thats bone stock accept for a kerker 4 into 1 and thats it.
But i surely dont ride it like that anymore,thats for sure.
BTW,yesterday i was almost run off the road when i was on a 3 lane highway with cars all going same direction @ approx 65mph. I was in fast most left lane passing a car when the driver of the car in middle lane decided to vear left into me never looking before changing lanes/quickly turning left to get into passing lane to pass slower car ahedd of him.
Was a good thing i was on top of the sitation esp with wife on the back,i got all over the horn while at same time gettign on the brey newly aquired 06 silverado with road Burners,90mph (by my self)& still climing when i backed off it.

Was a good thing i was on top of the sitation esp with wife on the back,i got all over the horn while at same time gettign on the breaks hard and going as far left off road onto shoulder at same time without getting too out of shape in loss stuff on shoulder.
That was a close one and luckily the driver head my horn and finally saw me at the last poss second when he was like 5" from hitting me and i had run out of room to the left of him.
My with was screeming like hell ,it scared the heck out her,but thank god we made it out of that situation ok .(PHEW)
