I'm probably not going to make this a normal part of my ride. But it was nice to know it can be done.You know to be honest, I kinda baby my old bikes just because they’re so old, but back in the 70’s I had a ‘76 XS650 when I was young and full of piss and vinegar and I regularly stomped that bike, and it was just as you described, around 5500-6000 RPM that bike had a real kick and pulled very hard, hard enough to walk away from my friend on his Honda 750 , which always surprised both of us!
Carry on Boog, you never slow down you never grow old!
