As to my statement, I find it really strange that so many people seem to think this bike is the greatest thing since peanut butter! Anyone who has had any experience in owning and riding bikes, they wouldn't be so up on this thing. There are many on the road, you never see them ???? and once one has had time on this bike they will notice real quick how off the speedometer is, and the faster you go the greater true difference. I clocked my bike several times using different methods/vehicles and things start get off at around 65mph. When you riding through traffic at 90mph you will notice your note blazing past the cars and what I found is when doing 90 I was actually barely doing 80 and at 100 never reach 90??? You think the bike is fast but in reality, it's quick but top end isn't all that great.
