It will probably do over 100 with this setup, but generally comfortable at about 70, with burst to pass or straights connecting turns do I get up to 80. That is fun, but a lot different than sustained 80mph. I have a Tiger for sustained 80mph, and that is it's place.
Everyone wants a 390 for single track. If you can have only one bike, then I would recommend a 500, but not for sustained 80mph
Omg its like you read my mind, nice that u have a 500 and yeah they got the same transmissions gearing. Thats excatly what i want to do, drive 60-70 mph and if there is a situation, i go to 80 mph to pass cars etc just like you said. No more than 1 minute at 80 mph speed unless someone chases me.
500 nice but to much for a first motorcycle for me, 390 will be Good
since i will use it to explore forrests, single tracks etc
So freaking awesome this thank you!
