well

i was slamming down the parkway , minding my biz - when i notice a clear section of un obstructed highway
i snapped it open @ 90 ish and "tunneled" my way to 140 ish - then i rolled it back to about 5/8 throttel , and thats about where the bike stopped accelorating - very interesting

what a crazy tourque curve - im so used to "tossing everything i got into 13k rpms" --i mean , it wasnt like i was "lugging along" , but it didnt seem like i was buzzing apart

in town it seems like im short shifting , but it also seems like thats ok.
a hard upshift into 2nd , results in a small wheelie , 3rd seems like its trying

it seems like i should use both feet on the rear brakes , but no complaints on the fronts
its a keeper
