Default RE: 500R speed....

ORIGINAL: kevlarian

I ride 97 miles each way to work every day of the week. 70% of that travel is on the freeway (405 in SoCal). I use the carpool lane to maximize my speed during the rush hour commute. My speed on the freeway ranges from 45-85Mph. I have to tell you, like the previous post, above 65, the wind starts to blast pretty bad. I have to tuck down if I hit above 80Mph for any length of time. I am ordinger a Zero Gravity "Sport Touring" wind screen for my 2007 500R, and I am hoping that will be just enough extra lip so that I can run at 80 without having to tuck. Another option for some is to shave down your seat, or order a custom seat from Corbin.

I have hit 110Mph on the bike and it was stable. I have heard a lot of people running in the 120's without any problem.
Kev, please let us know if the "Sport Touring" wind screen helps.

Thanks
