I am 44 yrs old and my second bike is a turbo hayabusa. Water injection, built motor and pump gas I am tuned for 311 hp to the wheel. Stupid fast and hella fun! I think a stock 600cc sportbike can be too fast to be honest so I can't really answer your question since I am on a turbo bike when not on my road king.

That strap is for the protection of others when that thing gets away, ain't going to help him at all. I'm 56 years old and ain't grown all the way up yet, but I've had my Street Glide wrapped past the 120 mark twice, both times on a relatively safe, long stretch of open road, but for me, it's too damn fast. I'll cruise 80-85 all day on the open toll roads and I love going 0-that 85 as fast as possible, but that is where I get my rush, not in the top end. I can see the thrill of speed, but that's not my thrill, I get my thrill from acceleration.
I'm exactly the same way, torque is where it's at !

Not trying to step on the thread but I had a chance to buy a Hayabusa for a very good price last year. Very interested in it as a 2nd bike - until I got a quote on insurance.
Point is, going fast is expensive, in more ways than one.

I rode with 2 guys with rockets when i had my Night train! I had the needle buried idk how fast we were going but i will never do that again! Felt like death was right around the corner! Probably didnt help that the train really isnt built for that!

XParatrooper, just curious...you have on your signature 2nd/235....is that a typo, I was thinking it was 2/325. I remember the 508 & 504. I spent some time in 4/325.
