I honestly believe if you need to go that fast you need a bigger bike or pick a smaller less travelled road. I'm not trying to be the Safety Czar but just being concerned about your health and welfare. When the bike is near the limit you are more of a hazard if you suddenly need to Get Outta Dodge.

Oh no I was not clear yet again on a forum :shocked: I really need to ether reread my stuff or get someone else to type it out for me! :neener: .

I was personally worried that I over reved on the highway and the answer is NO I did not!

What I ment about revving to those limits are not ment for the highway. What I ment was more along the lines of you need to get past a car or truck or something doing 40mph/60kph you bump it down to second and take second to about 9,000rpm and the thing is screaming but it gets you outta there! Then that is ok since these motors can atke 9,5000rpm. So runing gears 1 2 and 3 to there limits in a tight spot taht you might need to is ok so people are not shifting at like say 6,000rpm cuz they think the motor will not rev higher and they are not getting the acceliration they need outta the bike in a tight spot on a normal road! And the speeds I went were more or less to see if the GZ could even pull it of. More for fun then anything but ay I dont think Ill be hitting those numbers really on roads again except on a track from now on.



So is that big mess of words any clearer? :lol: :retard: :neener: :biggrin:
