You'll be de-sensitised (is this a word?) to the speed soon and before you know it you'll be doing a ton...if the CBR can do a ton restricted!

First time I did 70 on the motorway I thought it was reasonably scary with the wind etc but completely used to the wind etc and now it seems almost slow!

I'm back restricted again...took it out for a few months but thought better not risk it anymore!

Aye but once you get it de restricted its the acceleration that scares you. Ive recently discovered full throttle on my bike (its strange that normally I dont use it) and OMG it get the the limiter fast if you arnt careful!

As to speed yes you do. Its mad that if you blast upto 140+ (RPM ) and then slow down to 70 how 70 feels like your not moving at all.

Look at the TT people... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVXc29ZgutI OMG, that just seems insane, yet to them thats not too bad.

Road racers are just wired up wrong!

I've always thought that, i kind of think how ever much you think you're pushing the bike you can definitely push it further, probably loads further - but your brain stops you. Do racers just block out their brain lol?

the fabric of reality starts to stretch at 140 upwards. Vehicles which are travelling in the same direction as you start to look like they're going backwards and the time/space continuoum begins to vibrate... seriously addictive

My ride outs are far less eventful, I just get attacked by flies and raped by the police. Although hit a bat the other night..that as slightly different.
