When my RK was pretty much stock Stage I & Rineharts 115MPH down hill and wind to my back was all it would do.
But now it will lift the front end up in first & second gear, and 115MPH is no problem in forth gear, open up fifth and who knows?

Three years ago someone drove me out to pick up my new Hayabusa - at cruising speeds of 65 - 75 MPH it took us an hour and a half to get there -

It took me 45 minutes to get back [sm=burnout.gif]

Get my drift...

Now that my bike is getting broken in, I've been winding the gears a little longer each time out

Last time out, I was letting the old girl wind out in 4th, as I was pulling in the clutch to shift, I looked down an the speedo was showing 120! Don't know how accurate it is, but that was plenty fast for my old bones.
Atleast till the heads and new cams go in
