Exciting stuff... bike has a lot of power. On the 5-6 shift I went over a bump/crest in the road and you can see the front end get up/light and come down and bounce along with the speedometer acting weird because of this

Fun bike.

you need to lean more forward!

i notice you were in 2nd. first time girl was on back was first time after rev limiter was removed. shifted from 1st to 2nd at 92 mph thinking the electronics wouldn't allow a wheelie, but it did pretty drastic and scared the he!! outta me. being used to vtwins, i had no idea how strong these things ran. fortunately the electronics kicked in and settled us back down at 100+, but yep, they are one sick bike!

did a top speed run today...the whim caught me. Was rolling in 3rd, then progressively but not slowly rolled the throttle to WOT. After 10,000rpm-ish, the front got really light. No problems with the front being planted in 4th, 5th, or 6th, and didn't take much road to nail the indicated 299kph, and to push the RPMS a little closer to redline so that I can reach the actual top speed which is a bit higher as we all know.

The power is just completely insane....
