OK ... now what ???
I was wondering what everyone thought. Looks pretty slow to me. Revving it all the way to the redline seemed to resulted in just keep up with the Yamaha escort bikes.

IMO, sounds like a Harley with a potato stuffed in the muffler and didn't seem all that quick.
It is hard to tell acceleration unless there is a HD in the mirror......

Is it me, or does it look like a 4500rpm redline?
TwoWheelObsession on YouTube test rode one too, and had commentary. He said the rev-limiter kicked in at 4500 rpm, even though redline is 4750. Anyone know what the redline is on the older version of that Yamaha motor? Seems really low. I think my 1100 had a redline of 6500.
The rider in each video said the rev-limiter kicked in harshly, too.
They said the motor had decent power between 2500-3500 rpm, but otherwise felt flat.
Another comment from TwoWheel is that the motor got so hot that he couldn't touch the fuel tank with his leg. It was 96 F, in Florida, and was an urban test route.

...that why it's called the "Transcontinental"
It has to accelerate across the entire continent to get to speed
