I rarely take the bike over 4000 rpm (what's that, like 80 mph?) and I've never taken it over 5000 rpm. Certainly, between 2500 and 4000 rpm, the CB has plenty of juice. Good, smooth, bottomless torque -- just right for sensible street riding. I've got more suitable toys for sustained high speed (90-120 mph) riding. These days, however, I'm finding less and less enjoyment from those antics.I have a '13 five speed and at 85 plus mph engine rpm and "buzziness are not problems, the issue is sitting up the lack of a windscreen. Agree completely, this is not the bike for "those antics", I have a sportbike in the garage if I want a thrill, but the CB is usually the one I ride.
