Agreed, my 900 will easily do 90mph (ahem), but I won't, as even with a headlight cowl you get a LOT of wind blast - especialy in my case as I have 'Hero Issue' shoulders, and act like a spinaker at speed
. I generally top out - for comfort reasons - at about 85mph. I've gone faster, but it's not much fun TBH. And as you are a six-footer, it may be worse. Look at it this way - it could help preserve your license, and it will handle far better than a Bandit
Test ride one and see?
