Highway test
03/17/06 at 16:59:30

I decided last night that I would get up an hour earlier and do a highway test with the Savage. I had yet to take her on the interstate and was basically curious as to what she could do at higher speeds. Just a few obseravtions, she tracked straight and true. It topped out stock at a little under 95, if a sixth gear had been available it would have been higher. The time it takes from 75 to 90 seemed an enternity. Top speed was achieved on a downhill grade. Seems her best cruising speed was about 75. Semi truck vortex was noted a few times, although it was very early(4:30am) so traffic was rather light. Mileage dropped to 44mpg. Overall an excellent way to start a friday. Grin

I've always been a morning person. Plus the interstate is virtually empty at that time. That includes those pesky state troopers who are too happy to write tickets for excessive speed. I have a friend who rides a cbr1000 and he laughed at the top speed.

Is it stock or have you done some mods??

pgolden Ex Member	Re: Highway test Reply #7 - 03/19/06 at 14:17:33 My bike will do 90 mph in 4th gear. If you do the mods that most of us have done you should be able to break that 100 mph mark. I never drive like that, but I like having reserve power.
