How fast is toooo fast
I was refueling the other day and a young man pulls up on a Honda CBR 1100. He was cordial and was talking to me about my RKC and I about his bike. Well I said I had a 850Lb bike with about 80ish HP and he tells about having a turbo, or supercharger installed on his, claiming over 200HP at the wheel. I said oh, is it hard to hold on to when cranking the throttle. He shows me a emergency cable he clips to himself like a jetski has, so if he falls it shuts the bike off. We shook hands and went our own ways.

Guy I know used to race flat track for Harley back in the late 80's, point being he can ride. He bought a year 1 Hyabusa. I know he had it up to 206mph. He wheelies by my house at 130.
That's too fast.

Fast is fun, as long as you can stop the fast when you want to. lol You should have asked him if he had the brakes to go with that turbo
