Turned. 600 miles. With all the luggage ready for a 4K road trip it only does 110 mph and pulls but 6500 rpms

Pulls 6500 in 5 th? What about 4 th?

So is it rev limited depending on which gear its in? And that limits speed, or is it simply the speed that triggers a fuel or spark cut?

110.......i find that number hard to take...i got into full areo tuck and hit 130 before i backed out of it.

How about the 0 to 60 in 3.2 seconds, that seems more usable to me.
I'll have to scan and post the Cycle World specs when I get a chance.

They should enable all bikes to pull to redline in top gear!
The CB11 was robbed!!

But the low end is much more important...

Not necessary. With the proper profile, the CB11 could probably reach that speed if dropped from about 5,000 ft.

So tell me why are the US bikes speed limited when only capable of low top speeds. As far as I know the only speed limiting here is that production bikes must not exceed 300kph top speed.

we don't know if its just for the USA or if its a Japan thing that they dont remove. Either way there has to be either a lawyer or politician or both involved.
