Ha!! When I first started biking I never thought I would get anywhere near the red line on my curvy, it wasn't until I started riding with PetenLissa on their 996 regulary that I really needed to work hard to keep up.

Needless to say my Curvy spends more of its time in the upper reaches of its Rev range and it still feels really good. Although when you get into triple figures *private roads of course* it is a bit unstable but nothing too bad to make me close the throttle.

Having said that however I have bought a bigger, better, stronger, more bike but I will still keep the Curvy for a wee while.
