Yep, it begs to go fast. I go my first ticket in 30 years yesterday. Dang. :banghead:
Love my F6B and how it handles at speed, but its no match for my 2007 ZX-14. I guess that is at least one reason why I keep the Kawa around....lol!
Faster by all means as my last bike was a VTX, and this thing corners so much better there is no comparison. Got pulled over by a Motor for doing 20 over, so we shot the breeze about bikes for about 15 minutes and he let me go. Seems he was the Son of an Officer I used to work with:icon_mrgreen::icon_mrgreen: Always helps to be a retired LEO:icon_biggrin:
Yes. Mainly b/c its easy for my speed to 'creep up' without noticeable changes in the environment around me. (Vibrations, wind noise, etc)
Engine is smoother at 70 than at 50, and 50 is 'smooth like buttah', so rural 2 lane roads are a challenge to keep the speed down. (Easier on super-slab, but still need to keep an eye on it)
Bike is easy to ride fast also, at least compared to my last couple rides,,
I'm no speed-racer, but in curves, to me, the 6 doesn't dive, doesn't stand, you just 'look' and shoot. :yes:
Not really. My Harley was souped up and produced about the same output as my stock f6b. I might get up to sped a bit quicker. lol
I need to change my vote to YES. The more comfortable I get with the bike, the more I look down at the speedo and have to back off the throttle. 80-90 seems to be the new cruising speed. :shhh:
I haven't had a speeding ticket in 40 years, then I got a new F6B. mmm 3 tickets in 1 month. I wonder if the judge will believe this. 53% of us speed on our favorite toy.
Oh well, I do love it!

About the same.........Just fast enough to edge out the Harley's but not so fast as to Humiliate them. After all they still are my riding buddies and Brothers..........Dickie
