Hey.
Anytime I take my bike out, and get her on an open road where I can really let her go, she usually just peaks out at 70-75 mph. When I'm in fifth on a relatively flat road, and I try to go over 4000rpms, she just starts shuddering and hesitating, and won't make it much faster than 70-75.
I am a 6'4" 270lb guy though. Am I just expecting too much out of a 30 year old 650cc machine that produced 42 rwhp?
What kind of speeds are you guys getting, snd how big are you?
