so yesterday I'm riding the old Sidewinder down local lake from one end to the other and back, only 30 mike long lake. Pushed it pretty hard going down then on return trip running by my previous track as I have a safe line to follow and half way back the oh Sidewinder she's hauling the mail big time, then I start chuckling to myself in my little helmet world I'm all outa throttle, man wish I had more throttle! Haha

I would personally love to hold a new 850 doo to the boards for a quick round trip 60 miles there, as long as it isn't one I paid for!
Who thinks it would survive? I'm 50/50 on that.
I used to sweat 6 miles wot on my machz triple...but she always made it. Phew!.When I raced it with a new rx1 for 6 miles and just edged it and kept pulling away, what a relief
..that ran like a car on the interstate. ...smooth. ..zero drama after slowing too....nice!.

It was a good run and there was 5 inches of loose snow on the lake and making my own track the speed varied from 96 to 102 mph and if I got on a hard track 107 to 112 mph. I think it's doing alright for a 137 with 1.75 backcountry track. 8750 rpm accelerating and then settled in at 8600 consistentlySo what top speed did you see,sounds like you ran plenty far enough to break all radar records lol.
