It's a great bike hgl1001 but you should watch that about driving down the wrong side of the road around corners. Read fiddlemountain's post again. Ever see a head on with another bike or a car. It seriously blows, dude.
@waynestrain I've had two comment on this topic and could not agree more. I did not reply before because I did not want to sound defensive. So, listen to waynestrain. What i did was bad riding technique. Since this video, I've taken an advanced riding course which is based a very good book called "Sport Riding Technique" by Nick Ienatsch. Check it out-excellent. Thanks Waynestrain.
One of the greatest hazards on Hwy 60 is folks failing to maintain their lane--especially when straightening out curves. Cars & bikes frequently sail through the air and come to rest in our little holler. Fortunately the pasture provides a nice landing spot for the Medivac choppers.
Here's what I can tell you about RPM. At 70, it's about 7,000; around 73 to 75 its 7,750. I've riden at 80 mph with RPMs between 8000 and 8500 or so. Red line is 10,500--never taken it there.

@hgl1001 Thanks man, I was wondering about that because i thought highway use might be too hard on the engine. do you think this is more of a city bike?
@blumonkays Thanks for watching and let me know what you think of the bike. I've had a blast with it. Will post from the Tail of the Dragon as soon as I can get up that way. Can't wait to ride up there, but the run on this video may be just as good.
@hgl1001 Bike's been great so far. Took it up through the hills in adelaide last week. On it for 3hours and didn't feel uncomfortable. Love the low-end torque of it, great through the city. Wanna get myself a camera and take some footage of some rides through the hills
@blumonkays Let me know if you post some video. I'd like to see it. {I'd be cool to be able to post some video that other riders shoot here on my page--something to think about.}
The Drift camera allows for external mic (a plus for vblogging), and Sony sells excellent editing programs for under $100 (US) that you can download (PC based). iMovie is very good too. (I have an older version). Cheers mate.
Agree. See my comment below.

Good luck to you.

@cfriesen01 Looked again today 75 is approaching 8000 and 80 is about 8,500.

Don't suppose it was you I passed near Holcomb Bridge on the CBR250R about a week ago? I was on my Red CBR250R turning right.

@awksedgreep It could have been me. I go that way to 400 and get my bike serviced on Upper Hembre. Sounds like there's a number of CBR riders around!
