I have only had this one to 175 mph indicated. I need to get a nice stretch of road somewhere.
I agree on the over kill that is why my next bike is either going to be a Gsxr750, Gsxr 1000, Hayabusa and the muscle bike of all cruisers the Yamaha V-Max. Honestly if you want to really have fun without a huge speeding ticket I would highly recommend a V-twin. All I can say is torq up the ass. Even on my little SV I enjoy riding it under 100MPH because of all the low end "handing most car their ass" torq.
