Btw I did see the ton (indicated) on my ST at my wife's request in Montana one year, on a tour of the north west, but not redline, and I've seen neither on my FJR in 9000 miles and unlikely to in it's lifetime. We shall see. I've found 85 to be plenty fast for me these days.
Agreed. I seldom hit 6000 unless getting out of a potentially dangerous situation. The CB does it without complaint.
Speaking of passengers, this past summer casually cruised 170 km/h with the spouse on the back. The CB was very smooth (as well as the asphalt). I think she even dozed a bit (was a very lazy humid start in full-face and jacket).
