I know I've done it. Unfortunately, when riding like that my eye is on the tach rather than the speedo.

Yes, just about 80 mph in 2nd. It can be run pretty hard between 60-80 mph in 2nd gear and really likes it. Puts you between 6,000-8,000 RPM. Make sure you have plenty of road ahead! Engine is nice and smooth.
thank you Stretch and CIP57 et al for the info. it's nice to know. this grandma will try it sometime on empty road.

First gear, it's all right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)
Second gear, I'll lean right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)
Third gear, hang on tight (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)

That song was done by "The Hondells". Unfortunately I'm old enough to remember when it came out.
