You'll still go plenty fast enough but not really into 3 figures (which is pretty reasonable for a bike really). I've done 135 on my GSX1400 but could not hold on any longer and had to back off.
It feels pretty comfy around 80, if you've only ever ridden faired bikes, you'd be surprised how smooth wind is without the buffetting of even a good fairing. |

I've ridden accross the plains of Spain doing a constant 110 - 120 mph for at least an hour non stop. You really do get used to it.
I can travel now easily at 110 for as long as I like. You really do get used to it. |

In the main, yes it probably was.

Actually, the bad weather followed us from the UK. We managed to just stay ahead of it all the way.
 We didn't really chose the best month to go so we were lucky. Although Messie wouldn't have said riding over snow capped mountains in the middle of a blizzard and covered in fog lucky.  It was an experience I shall not forget in a hurry.

It does indeed slow me down. I can't sustain it for too long. On the flipside , especially with Renthals fitted you may ride more like a hooligan
 . For the Ape et al that are able to do a constant 120 on a naked  . I can't get along too well with clipons anymore but for me, that is one of the drawbacks of having high bars. Northy , clipons on naked bike doesn't really slow you down much 9still easier to grip tank etc) so not surprised about TSM. Cheers Ben
