Everybody knows a Blackbird will do 175+ mph, but I would be interested to know just how many of you owners ever get near that?
Lets assume that you were on a German autobahn at the time...
Personally, I believe that a lot of owners never get anywhere near these kind of speeds, and they like to own a 'bird just because its just about the best bike ever, not because they want to ride at 175mph...
Me first...when I was in Germany last...got the bike up to about 145 - 150, but nerves and then traffic got the better of me. Don't know about you lot, but it all gets a bit blurry at that speed, and don't feel quite in control...(I know, call me a sissy, I can take it..... at least I don't ride a Harley...)
First to admit to hitting the rev limiter in 6th gets a beer on me!!:yo:
