Even with the 13 tooth countershaft sprocket, I ran her up to a sustained 7500 R's and it was registering about 75 on the speedo, whatever that really was.
What a fun bike! It sure is nice to finally ride this thing to its potential! I was also very impressed with how smooth it ran at that high of RPM's. No excess vibration through the hands or feet.
And of course....after a few trips out all day to let her rip, once home, I finally found a usefulness for the little tank wings.
