Wiki says GSXR1000 only did 290km/h. Hayabusa Gen 1 was the first to 300 it says.

Yes you are, Blakbird. So what are you waiting for?
I read that you currently ride the "Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic LT cruiser", which to me is a 'Harley', a bike so heavy and large you cannot, in no aspect, manage it. It is beautiful, and surely sounds awesome, but you should still sell it and get a 250-500 cc (not a 750, not a 650) bike - that is managable. Even though at first you may feel as if a part of your body is missing, you will soon feel free, as if a burden has been lifted off you. You may very well disagree, my philosophy of riding on two wheels is that unless you are able to fully understand the physics of the bike, you won't be satisfied. Because to master the beast you must ride one that *allows* you to master it. A 200kg+ Harley will never let you, even though there are some pretty skilled officers I've seen doing impressive stuff with heavy rides. Basically get a bike that you're able to pull out of a ditch without any help. Now, there are a few exceptions, one of them Pol Tarres. A not so heavy dude doing crazy stuff with a Yamaha Tenere 700. Hold on to your hat - |

Different bikes are for different purposes. The Vulcan is for cruising the highways in the mountains and it is perfect for that. Weight is irrelevant in that environment, I just want it to be comfortable and smooth. I've had every size of bike from 50cc to 1500. For an off road bike I'd like to get something around a 250. I totally agree that off road I want it to be light enough to throw it around with the strength of my body.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem mate
