Top Speed questions
1. Whats the fastest you've gone on your bike?
2. How long can you redline when topping out your bike (what's safe)?
3. Does it sound right to be able to go 165 without feeling some sort of shake in the handles without a steering damper?

I know, thats why i said indicated in my later post. How far off do they tend to be? I was always under the impression they are only of by 10-12mph?
And no one has yet to answer my redline question......
