I roared my Honda Elite up to 100kph in under 5 seconds yesterday, in First gear.
My GSX1100 would do 100kpm in first gear also.
Tomorrow I will be fitting it with a new turbocharger.
PS. Terry, plane tickets haven't arrived yet...
Geez, that's weird Michelle, I sent those tickets via USPS Priority Express to the King of Vermont, so they should have arrived by now? USPS do know that you're the king, yeah?
Anyway, I haven't ridden a bike all week, I was working (really hard.............) interstate, so I might have to go do some canyon carving on my Harley today. It's cold and miserable outside, with more rain threatening, but I'm so tough, the rain clouds part when they see me roaring towards them, which of course, is as it should be.
The gearing on the Harley is pretty high, so I usually just cruise @ 100 MPH (it's a proud American bike, so it prefers miles than those lesser metric things) in first, and I use second as an overdrive, to keep the RPM's below 1000, at that speed. I haven't tried 3rd, 4th or 5th, I'm thinking about just removing them completely, to reduce the bike's weight? Cheers, Terry.
