So.... how fast have you driven on the street?

Guessing if we had a way to post anonymously, we would get more responses.

Bill: "165 on a '93 Honda CBR900RR that I had to have. Smooth as silk at that speed."

Wow, I am really scared of speed on two wheels. 1983, I had a GS 1100E. I know it is nothing compared to today's hyper bikes, but was a big deal at the time. Capable of 0-100-0 all in ten seconds.

I found out the hard way, it was not "smooth as silk" at 130. Handlebars started shaking violently (6 inches each direction) and didn't quit shaking until I got her down to about 80.

Sold the bike back to the guy I had purchased it from the next day. He still has it. I have even ridden it a few times, but never at high speed.

Quit riding bikes all together about 6 years ago after my brother was almost killed on one. Too many INATTENTIVE drivers out there texting, talking of just asleep at the wheel.
