Since we're talking speed, I had a 98' Honda CBR 900RR I bought new, I had that up to 150 mph. Only did that once, and that was enough. I picked my spot between two corn fields that were cut and it had a nice straight away with a clear view. I wish I had that bike still...

Probably a good thing you still don't!

The Wife would agree....

Second fun (collector piece) is my Virago Xv920 1982... this is fun, fun, fun -

Get us a pic of the 920! As I recall, the rear fender was swingarm mounted and it had a chain, unlike Viragos (that had a driveshaft), which was totaly enclosed. A European bike?

had a few bikes over the years. Was without for a little after an interstate move. Picked this one up for a good price, and it rides well, but always dreaming about teh next one when i can spare the funds.

That blued front pipe and not blued rear pipe tells me either the pipes have been swapped, or she's running lean on that front jug. If you jet that motor up till it fouls the plug and then back it down one size, your pipes will never turn blue and your engine will run a LOT cooler. May stumble a bit in hot weather if ya twist the wick real quick but it'll take all you can give it below 85°F. Used to set all my old big twins that way and I routinely rode in 100°F plus weather. That little extra bit of fuel takes a lot the heat out of the combustion chamber. Run it lean and it'll get great gas mileage but it will cook the top end.

It has newer been riden with those pipes I belive. It is an import from USA, and to get plates on it here u need silent pipes. There are stil some work to be done before it is road legal. Think I have alot of work ahead of me, but this bike was bought with the heart and not my brain:-/
