and even on a bike that tops out at 186, where do you think the tach is at when doing 100??

I can tell you where it is on my bike!!

I can't really shift to 6th until 80 - 85.. then I'm around 3500. 100 puts me right around 4500 -5000, redline at 8000... Really can't see me ever getting to close to the redline in 6th gear..

he's a shafty, can't do it.
I'm thinking I'll go one or two teeth larger in the back when this set wears out. I can't hit the throttle in first gear and keep the front end on the ground.

when riding to/from work on 235 wheelies aren't socially acceptable.
Besides, I'll be less tempted to drag race cars.

Who cares about being socially acceptable? Grow your hair long, get a tattoo, give the cagers something to complain about on the forums as you cut 15 minutes off of your commute time.

the money that you save in gas can go towards paying the tickets.

Got it.. when he said two up, I was thinking a pillion.. and wondered how that had anything to do with it...

I can get a lower geared final drive..

That's the big advantage of a chain. Very easy to change the final drive gear ratio and I'm sure it costs a lot less than changing the gears in your rear drive.

Until I realized it was sped up I was wondering how many accidents the person caused behind them!

Still seems a bit more risk than I want to take.
