    Yours is at least a road bike, I bet it'd hit 100. Mine is a dual sport dirt bike. No aerodynamic properties and geared for low end grunt.

    We got a KTM 450 up to 103 in the desert of Baja while pre-running the Mexican 1000 that my brother raced in. Pretty sketchy to say the least.

    That 300F is a thumper, right? My 250 was a parallel, and it was totally smooth all the way to redline. My experience with single cylinders has been fairly limited, but I've always found that you don't want to go much past 8k or they'll numb your hands up. This Honda might be different, since it was a blank-slate design a few years ago, but... :notsure:

    Yes single cylinder 286cc fuel injected. I didn’t buy it to go fast. It’ll probably never even see the highway.

    I like small bikes, personally. You can really wring them out without breaking the speed limit (usually). And if you don't feel like a 'spirited' ride, you can upshift and get 70mpg :thumbsup:

    The most fun bike I've ridden in the past few years is my buddys Suzuki TU250X. I'm 260lbs without gear and on that bike I'm 60 mph tops. The infamous weekend of my crash I was leading about 12 very go-fast guys through VT twisty backroads on it for a few hours. There is something really hilariously fun about having to keep it pinned in top gear around corners CONSTANTLY. Maybe they were being generous but they said it was a chore keeping up with me and amazing how fast I was riding it. You can't use the brakes! Throttle to the stop 100% of the time.

    We get a lot of enjoyment cruising around on the grom. Single brake is a little sketchy with both of us though

    A friend I used to ride with had a liter bike for a while when I had the 250, and I could pretty easily walk away from him in the twisties. As soon as we got to a straight, though....forget it.

    Alright @Monster Coma I checked out Aw Geez. Good Stuff..Strong Stuff. Nice DIPA.
    The to go 4 pack

    By the way I learned it's a Massachusetts law that they won't fill a growler from another brewery. It has to have this brewery's name on the label so now I'm going to take all of my labels off my growlers.
