When you dislocate your arms trying to hold on, that's fast enough.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Too fast? Is there something to fast? I guess there could be something that is too fast for the type of riding you do, but I am sure that I know someone would still ride it. Too fast would have to be a state of mind. I haven't been in anything or riden anything that is to fast. There just isn't anything that is to fast. If there were why would so many after market guys be in business maken parts for your bike to go faster. If its all out drag or a hobbyist there never is too fast. If there were a too fast it would have to be where you are afraid to ride the bike, but when that happens just give me a call I'll ride it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

wow you must all have ***** of steel!! I was intimidated by a cr500 of my buddies a couple years back. It took me ten minutes for my heart to calm down enough just to stradle that beast. I never even pinned the throttle. I put it in 5th gear and that was it, half way through 5th i had to pull over and rest my arms. Maybe nothing is too fast for some people, but that bike was plenty fast for me.

A buddy has a Vmax with a lot of engine work, that's the closest to "too fast" that I've ever experienced. I rolled on the throttle in 2nd and had to let off, it scared me. I putted around for a little, telling myself that I was a woosie, and then rolled on the throttle again. I made it a few more thousand rpm and had to let off again, scared. I have no idea how fast his Vmax really is, my nutz would have to grow a lot bigger to find out:-)
