Must have new bike, the cops will crucify my license again if I don't!

Blah blah blah. You ride with your mind - you either want slow down on the road or you don’t. (Sorry Hitcher, over simplistic again?)

If you have a bike that is rewarding to blat on, take it to the track.

torque is not responsible for acceleration!

Torquing the torque is NOT walking the walk...

A Suzuki Goose 350. Serious fun in the twisties. Enough top end to lose your license, but you'd have to work at it.

There's one for sale on TradeMe that is perfect. However, enough trying to sell someone else's bike.

You get tickets because you speed. All motorways and following State Highways are inadvisable to speed on at any time: SH1, SH2, SH3, SH4, SH5, SH27, and SH57.

There, I've sorted it for you! It's not the bike, it's the pile-it.

And any road around Te Awamutu.

Settle petal, if you really work at it you could in theory lose the trusty license on an old GN. You would have to work at it mind, but it could happen.

You know what they say eh? A bad workman always blames his tools.

And a good tradesman never blames his tools .
Learn to control your right wrist , and take it to the track if you want a real blow out, Plain and simple.

What you need is a big vibey single, plenty of torque but it'll vibe so much at speed you'll be forced to slow down

I don't think that's the issue with your DR650. The reason you have trouble going fast is that there's a large hairy man on the pillion seat clutching an 18" wire wheel.

You must be thinking of another rider as you're neither large nor hairy
