RE: How often do you hit triple digits?
It looks like I'm the one vote for did it once and it scared me. I changed my sprockets so i've got a ton of torque now, but, my top end is all but gone. I rarely if ever ride on the interstate, and, the bike just doesn't want to do over 90 anymore. RPM's are screaming at me and the bike gets squirly over 90mph. But, when I had first bought the bike, and, being new to it, i had to rip the throttle open, and, down in the Keys over the 7 mile bridge, I believe I hit 120 for afew seconds, but, then, backed off to about 105 and rode the whole bridge like that. But, now that i've got the new sprockets, 90 is my tops. Sucks when I try to ride with a group when I do hit the interstate, cause, they just leave me.
There is one other reason I try to stay close to the speedlimit. I've already lost my license for a year due to streetracing. If you live in FL, DO NOT GET CAUGHT!! If you do, you automatically lose your license for a year.
