|  Rode at 100 MPH on my C50
Hi Well since owning the C50 on 8th October and posting here about my intrepidation and fear of riding my first bike i have now come on in leaps and bounds. OK so i only have 400 miles on the clock and still running it in at between quarter and half throttle but Sunday i could not resist the challenge Went for my usual afternoon ride on sunday of about 20 or so miles, i was on my way back home comming down the Motorway and looking around me doing my normal steady 60 mph i could not beleive how quiet the trafic was. I thought "what the Heck" i slowly started to wind open the throttle, until before i new it i was there, at the magical 100 MPH. I must admit i did not find it a pleasant experience, i have a Suzuki screen and the wind factor buffetting my head was unreal, The bike felt very solid beneath me and stable, and there was more to go on the throttle i think, but not for me, I held this speed for about 1/4 to 1/2 mile then eased back as it was too uncomfortable to sustain. So there you have it, if there is a 100mph club, i have just joined it, it was definately a "one off" as conditions were perfect, and any how i am still supposed to be running the bike in. This truly is a great machine |
