Gee I didn't think 80 or so for a short blast would be thrashing it?
I guess I must remember it's age and mine
Trouble is I went out on the silver nutterbastard Vincent 1360 thing the night before. It only has 500 miles on the engine so the rev limiter is set for 5000 rpm. 5000 rpm on that one is 122 MPH and it hits the rev limiter in fifth in about 9 seconds from a standstill.
So it was a bit unfair to the old Super Rocket, which is actually a very comfortable ride and has a great running motor.
.....but it would be nice to squeeze a bit more out of it.
SoI will investigate the things suggested, thanks.
