How fast these bikes get to 85mph in 4th gear is NUTS.
I am always concerned about this slow loop and "No Merging Lane" I have to access two mornings a week on my way to work.
MOST of the time no one is coming up on my tail, as I try to merge onto the 160 into downtown. This morning I had three cars in both lanes doing 60-65 as I come into their lanes. I crank the throttle in 3rd and IFLY IN FRONT AND AHEAD OF THEM SO FAST, THEY ARE 50 YARDS behind me in a second. I shift to 4th, 5th, then 6th as fast as I can because the 08 is screaming and I am at 85mph. It was so surprising, I never had time to look down to see my RPMs.
Amazing.
