How often do you exercise The Beast?? What is redline?? And what is the kph or mph at redline in first gear??

All good my man.
Only the R’s have a dry clutch, too much maintenance for me.
You’ll notice I said I owned a bike, unfortunately I don’t get to ride it anywhere near as much as I would like.
Sorry but I can’t help with the top speed in first other than F’n quick. I think it’s a bit over 100 MPH but I’d hate to be quoted on that. It’s not something I’ve really delved into, too busy changing gears.
With saying all that the bike is just so good to ride, it is smooth and handles like a scalpel and is probably the most comfortable bike I’ve owned. I’m 6ft 2 and 92kgs with very bad knees and a bad back and it’s fits my like a finger in a bum.
