Anybody tearing the track up with thier Bird or is everyone riding the wife around at 180mph?

 

I do neither. I would be interested in taking a Track School, but time and finance priorities do not make it possible at this time.

I do not ride 2 up very often, but if I do, it is usually short distances with one of my daughters.

I do leisure sport touring when time permits, but daily commuting is the rule. I have to be careful, but can wick her up a little trying to get out of traffic or avoid a trouble spot.

 

I wish my husband would also get another bike. I love to ride. I guess I have to get a bike and ride it myself. I also love to drag race, but I scare my husband when I do.

 

I do both. Believe me that bike is NOT for the track. I think of it as a nice barka lounger on the track. It can handle it but its kind of like watching a fat lady ride a moped. Well have fun

 

I've been testing that the speedo doesn't hangs before 186 mph, not calibrated with GPS though. I guess the speedo error on my bike is slightly more than 10% since I've put a 16-tooth gear in front instead of 17-tooth (6% difference). From what I've read one can expect about 175+ mph real top speed from a Bird in stock condition.

It will be tested on track as soon as I get the opportunity, the old CBR 1000 F didn't turned me down on track, and the Bird should be slightly better since it has more power and a better chassie.
