    @rockky i am not commenting it on the basis of rider style, but on the basis of cruising, where you would/should be at about 80 % the peak of your bike. which is around 100-105, so that the engine runs relatively stress free.

    Yes you can keep the bike at 120 also and ride at that speed, but it does not make sense being so close to the limit of the motorcycle's top end.


    My offerings to the gods of speed -

    - KTM Duke 200
    - Yamaha RXZ 5 speed

      Got ur point , and agree . But I have been doing this since a some time [55k] on ZMA. Ofcourse through out the trip it may not be possible based on road condition to maintain that speed. Havent given an major issues so far other than what is expected from a ageing mechanical parts
