Re: Top speed?
100 mph plus every time that bike hits the road and I do mean every time. I didn't buy it to go the speed limit.

Want to match driving records? Or in this case riding records?

No, you won't know anything. Rather, you'll just be assuming and we know what assume means.........

Re: Top speed?
I have already givin my thoughts on top speed in the past threads listed.


The video was able to come up on my work computer, since its not youtube, and all i have to say is the only way to completly avoid a motorcycle accident is to not ride a motorcycle.

I would like to encourage people to slow down... 100mph+ on any public roadway is just asking for trouble.... Unless you have a 4 leaf clover up you arse, it's just a matter of time before you lose you lic or worse... kill yourself. The last thing the motorcycle community needs is more bad press. So everyone use your head before you lose your head....

... by the way, I wasn't trying to send a poor taste comment to Havblue... I like this guy's post and would like to see him around here for a while yet....

Im sure Charlie took no offense by it. Having said that Carlie is an old geezer lol. So nature is bound to get him before the FZ6.
Joking aside. If you have the right riding conditions, visibility, well maintained machine. 100mph on the FZ6 is actually very safe and stable. I take on your point about the dangers of speed. It is often the danger of inappropriate speed, wrong time, wrong place that gets us into trouble.
Certainly in the UK the average crusing speed fro traffic on a motorway is between 80 - 90 MPH.

Speedo indicated 131 mph on some very nice back roads, in the middle-of-nowhere grant county.
