Default Top end

So I just got back from a ride and opened her up all the way, once it got up to 150mph in 6th it started to accelerate really hard again guess the power band is at about 11 000 rpm, I ran out of road at about 160 not sure what it would max out at. Still can't get over just how good these bikes are.

You're insane man. How does the bike handle at those speeds?

it handles really well there is no high speed wobble, the bike is really stable at this speed it is no different to what it is like at 120mph.

Yes, they are amazing bikes, I love it when I overtake, going down a couple of gears than necessary and going right through the power band, listening to the bugger howl, but you do run out of road real quick.
I've got to admit though, when I get up to insane speeds, I don't take my eyes off the road ahead, not even to look at the speedo.
