        Sounds like 100 is the new minimum cruising speed.

          Minimum 100 is good. Gotta get my speedometer cable swapped out so I have a good estimate.

            Fast enough to make me giggle like a schoolgirl....The best thing about these old bikes is that younger riders underestimate them....Then are shocked.

              Read it again, you have to "exceed" 100, so make it at least 101

              I haven't been over 100 in a week, I keep itchin to see how fast they'll really go, but it's been many many years since I've been up to 140 on a bike, and that was only once, on the Skunk I used to own. The fear of getting caught holds me back.

                I did ~90 one time. I was going to click it up into 5th, but I caught up to trafic and decided against it. In 4th every 1000rpm nets another 10mph~, so once I ran the spedo out I'm just estimateing. I think I can bust the ton given enough clear road and no cops.

                Not bad for a 450 with a fat guy on the back, and a 1+ tooth CS.

                          Well its a Suzuki, but not a GS IMO.
                          And I dont even know what a Honda Rune is not that I care anyway, but it shouldnt be here either.

                                On my 82 last weekend going across the desert on an unnamed straight as an arrow deserted two lane I got her up to 8600 rpm on a flat stretch after about a minute, don't know how fast it was but I think I got about all of it anyway.
