Take this with a grain of salt. All of you bought your bikes because of the speed that they can attain in such a short distance, unlike cars. You talk about how bad people are for doing the top speed thing, but each one of you who frowns upon others for doing it all ride big bikes. Obviously, speed had something to do with the purchase or you would have bought Katana's

, actually I meant to say smaller cc bikes. You do not need 750+ cc bigs to do curves. Am I right?
So don't frown on those for going WFO. You do not know what kind of roads and conditions are when they do this top-end thing. Here in west Texas, there are so many roads that can be run WFO for so long (over 20+ miles at a time), that it's very easy to have that perfect moment of ectasy. Yes, I have lots of tickets

but none are for over 90 mph. I was very cocky, in the 80's, and I finally took control and went to the track to ride. I finished 15th in the nation, WERA 350cc, my first year. Anyway, what I am trying to say Top-speed is great when done moderately and not in rush hour. That's why I want a 2000 750 GSXR, for my next bike.
