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.
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.
