That's 150mph at 9K RPM (although electronically limited to 142mph IIRC)

And the bike is only just getting started at 4K. At 6K RPM, you will be cruising comfortably at 100mph.

This bike often makes me look down at the speedo and say to myself, "Oh. Triple digits for no reason again. I'm not in any hurry, maybe I should back off a little". Sometimes, I even take my own advice....

Overall I really enjoy mine, I am concerned about the long term reliability of RevMax bikes so we will see how many are around after 50000 miles. There have been a significant number of cam chain failures which result in castrophic engine failure. HD says "fixed" but one 23 I know of has failed.
So in my opinion if you can afford to light 20 grand on fire get one otherwise maybe wait and see.
