My Rocket really vibrates when I give 'er the juice, through the entire machine. Maybe that's the nature of the 140 hp "getting with it". Any comments about other units reaction to aggressive acceleration? Not knockin' it (what a rush), just want to know if it's the norm.

I notice the vibration around the century mark and by the time it hits 120 or so the speedo is almost impossible to read but at that speed its better to direct all your attention to the road.

The possible culprits for hard to read speedo at speed are:
1. front wheel out of balance noticeable only at high speed.
2. dirty air causing helmet turbulance resulting in blurred vision.
3. the effects of long sightedness due to:
a. old age and b. having your nose too close to the speedo whilst in the "racing crouch".
4. all of the above!
