I've seen like 600 on my gps, ~140 on the RSV, maybe a bit more in the vette.

Having press conferences saying how much he likes the bike is just part of his job, and he might like the bike, but it's obvious that he isn't as fast relative to the others as he was on the Honda....

I'm fortunate, I have alot of twisty roads starting at the end of my street. But the only reason anyone might think I was close to fast is because I know the roads pretty well.

I usually ride by myself, and enjoy the pace I ride. I'm not really interested in going faster (and I wouldn't call myself fast at all). But if I did I have a friend who has a Saturday morning group...

True, but a 250 ninja is going to be giving lots more feedback to the rider that he's going fast at 70 mph than a 600SS will. That's what makes them safer.

I'm not going to say everyone will crash, as that can probably be proven false.

But I think more people crash than don't. But I'd also guess most people crash their bicycles a few times too.

On the dirt, if you don't crash you're not going fast enough. And it doesn't have to mean you're fast, just going faster than you should have. I've crashed my dirt bike many times.

It's the change in steering geometry, dropping the front takes a lot of rake out of the front, and the closer the front gets to up and down, the more likely it is to shake.
