Whay is it with you guys? I am 69 and am pi**ed off I bought a 1140cc, DOHC, FI, in line 4 cyl, 89.5 HP MC, and it hardly goes faster than my Yamaha TMAX (47hp)! And not near as quick! If someone doesn't come out with a fix, I will be getting rid of mine. I LOVE the look, feel, and torque around town. But I need some power and decent top speed. I ride with guys my age, and we have been turning 'em on for 40 years. My CB450 would run 120+ in 1970. (CL350 was not far behind). '74 Z1 was AWSOME and FAST! Showed 150, probably really 130mph.
I got blowed off by a Victory Cross Country bagger last Friday, on new Interstate I69. Miles of new concrete NO access.
I want/must have, a top speed eliminator, Youshimura system, and hotter cams when someone makes, them. Bigger, higher compression pistons too.
THATS what we did back in the day....and there were NO LIMITERS....except the FUZZ!
I swear my TMAX does 105! MY CTS V is "limited" to 185mph...that's OK.
