12-07-06, 11:34 AM

I kept getting"Oh sh*t" moments as I found myself significanlty over the limit riding to work this morning.

This is my first bike and I can remember when I felt that 60 was plenty quick enough

So my question is, if I switch to a naked bike would I ride slower for a bit due to the increased wind resistance, and then get used to that and be back up at silly speeds again?

Cheers
