I think you have the same bike as I do 2012 candy red I also been running the PR 2's, my is still bone stocks ready for some duels with a zx14 header and you are right still pulling strong at 140 and oh my what a song song she sings
...I also understand the newer C-14's are speed limited.
bone stock per the speedo 160ish, not sure how far off the factory speedo is. Honestly I think for me that's fast enough as there really isn't anywhere around that is closed course ....im only 46 but still start having all those thoughts about having an accident at those speeds.
130 mph, two up, bags at 20# each,shad 50 top box, guhl reflash, angel GT 55 rear in fifth gear. Also I am 72 and wife is 68, been a passenger for over 40 years, 50th anniversary next year.

I'm 4 yrs younger, but still banging on the door of the grey power club. Had mine up to 250kph or 155mph and stayed there for a while, absorbing the whole experience. As a die-hard cruiser guy, it was tough choice to buy my first "non-traditional" motorcycle, an 08 concours. There's nothing quite as much fun as passing a younger 40ish guy on his batwing fairing geezer glide, and regardless of how decked out he is in his rebel attire, or how bad-ass he thinks he is, there's not much the kid can do.
Yup, I think there's something wrong with you, me and the lot of us. mat
Indeed. I am always amused at how many people on those ultra-low-tech cruisers just think they are "all that".... they just have NO IDEA what it is like to ride a modern sport-ish bike. It is a lot like these kids in riced-out Civics revving at *ANY* motorcycle, thinking they have any chance, whatsoever, if the bike cared to go. Buying and driving a large displacement sport-ish bike will often totally ruin all notions about where "fast cars" fit in the hierarchy of speed (unless you are talking high 6+ figure exotic stuff, of course... and even then....)
