I went to the post office this morning and it takes my bike a good while to pass other cars. Also if i'm following someone at 65 it takes effort to pass.

I dont have a problem getting the power out of my RR. When I nail it I am gone thats all there is to it.

yea it has plenty of power, you must be in too high a gear to pass people

many factors come into play..

how much of a fat ass you are
number of stickers on the fairings
weight of ur gear ( flip flops shorts and tank top are idea or cutting weight)


if that doesnt help

downshift
pop clutch at high RPMS
use the super cool clinicaly proven synthetic made SPECIFICALLY for Motorcycles

I'm pretty fat, but a gentleman never reavels his age or weight. FRESH!!
No stickers, yet.
Just Helmet, gloves if it's cold.

Downshifting is an option, but the noise is a factor.
Poping clutch is new to me. maybe in another 600 miles.
I'm thinking motor oil. I can not justify 18 dollars a quart.

Even better, just leave it in first. You'll be getting like 10 miles to the gallon but who cares, there's an endless supply of that stuff!

Gesus.. try smashing the throttle in first gear.. you'll notice at redline you'll be going around 80.. continue the process and continue through second gears redline.. (avoid killing yourself if possible) Report back if it was fast or slow..

CrazyLocoDude - What is up with your bike, I had both of mine up to 147 on Sunday, at the same time. Me and a friend were out playing... :)
Well first off I did regear it so that drops the top speed and second that sh!t is fukin scary, When I got to 130 I got real nervous soI backed off the throttle.
