Default Why do 80mph?

If you just bought a new GSX-R1000, why do 80mph on the motorway?
My GPz500 could do 80 on a motorway!

Should at least do 130 for the look of the thing.

Wasting of money otherwise.

Just because he's doing 80 on the motorway doesnt mean he wont kick-ass in the twisties. He's probably smart and being careful where there's points at stake.

That would be my philosophy... cane the hell out of it where the police are unlikely to see you...

Because he's being responsible?

Because he's running it in?

Because he's saving fuel?

Because he knows he can be doing 150 in a few seconds if he feels like it?

Because he's not some jumped up little boy still drooling at high speed numbers?

Because he doesn't have to.


Why even ask the question in the first place?

Because I do and I can.

Why on earth would someone responsible buy a Gixxer in the first place?
Jumped up little boy...I wouldn't have bought a SV in the first place if I liked big numbers
