I don't know why the PO sold me the bike cause it's dam sweet.
It was stock when I got it, I've upped the main to 150 only.
I'm doing 87 uphill, nose level with top of windshield, normally chin.
It can do over 90 on the flat but I got the shift light set at 5500 rpm so I normally stop at 87, but there are times when I'm having too much fun.

Yeah, brake arm is sooted, but sparky is nearly white like I am when I find out I'm doing 90. Smiley

...35-40 in 5th? Really? Do you accelerate from that speed and gear or just cruise?.... I usually don't go below 45 in 5th.

Yeah, it pulls smoothly with WOT from about 30. Not at briskly as in lower gears, but stronger than most cages and more than enough for me. "Smoothly" is a varible -- I was actually a bit disappointed in how little vibration the Savage has. The counterballancer works fine. I've been doing so for 3.5 years on the same spark plug so the bike doesn't dislike it that much.

(Couldn't resist..) Oddly, 60mph was a problem for me. Fine at 55, and, 65. But, 60 would vibrate for some reason..... Besides being a thumper, duh. This was during my trip. Windshield, forkbrace, and really loaded down. (about the same as 2 up)
