    Nah they don't have speedo restriction like the other bikes - as they were sold new here. Trick is to get the power valves to "drop-the-hammer" at about 10,500 rather than the usual "dial-down" through the whole range.
    Gearbox is sweet - I thrashed the shit out of mine til it blew up at 24,000. Mate bought it, did a rebuild - said gearbox looked almost new.

    You guys helped me with the indicator problem...

    I'd love to go around a circuit and get my knee down. But don't have any friends that have bikes that I can chase/be chased. Would one of you kind folk like to invite me to a track day? :P

    You dont need to get your knee down or have to beat someone just to have a blast on the track. Look out for the track days advertised on KB and get yourself along to one. Trust me, you'll be addicted after the first lap!

    Picked it up for a bargain I reckon. Want a TR110 or TR50 to get to and from town and then use this vacuum packed awesomeness on the weekends and nights for a nice long curvy ride.

    Kinda sad these only get up to 180km/h, not that i've been that fast on it
    RG150 Speedo is inaccurate at higher speeds (in an optimistic way) anyway.

    1) all are
    2) its a percentage over whole range - 1 speed is no major diff over another % wise
    3) my RG speedo showed me 220 once, so 180kph (real) is VERY possible. But you need serious mods to get to that level.
