Got her up to 62 BMPH and backed off...I weigh 195, am 58 years old, and kind of a wuss...

I'm sure there was throttle left, tho...

Actually, I was out buzzin' around yesterday and was coming down the slope of one of the highway river bridges, and looked down and saw the needle on about 72.

Srsly? Moi?

I'm 54, around 240, and suddenly thought better of how fast I was going.

But apropos of nothing at all, the new S1s felt pretty good. That, a fresh oil change, and temps in the low 70s, and the Bud was rolling strong.

On a nice, flat stretch of road I saw 70mpg on the speedo. I guess she's broken in.

I finally installed a ram-mount for my phone, so I finally got a GPS measurement of my speed. Looks like I top out at 67mph. I got to 68 on a slight downslope, but 67 is my top as far as I can tell.

So far by my GPS 60 mph. Silver Bullet has 750 miles on it. I weigh in at 185 and am 77. Guess I will open her up some time just to see what she tops out at.

Most scooter & motorcycle speedometers seem to run 10% optimistic. All mine do according to my GPS. A windshield will tend to streamline the bike
and give an extra couple of miles to the actual speeds.

I was just paced this past Saturday at 79 real mph on my big bore '09 Blackjack. I was in a full tuck - There was no way I could see the speedometer.

OK, today I opened the Silver Bullet up and hit 65 mph, GPS. Level ground.
I will go back now to running 50-55 GPS mph. I did not get to be this old by being careless!!!
