The smaller displacement guys that smack us big bore guys for having un-necc power are gonna like this.. Just an observation that doesn't matter but it made me chuckle..
My average speed after 2500 km's and 110 hrs on my 850 Touring is a whopping 22km's p/hr or about 18mph!.. Made me laugh because some of my favorite smack off's that pop up on the forum now and then is when the small bore guys get all bent out of shape about big bore riders having fragile ego's and needing the extra cc's to compensate for some kind of "short coming" if you know what I mean.. So here's an "I told you so" moment for the small bore riders.. That said, if I get tired of listenting to you, I'll just go to about half throttle and get out of range so I can't hear you.. ha!.. Please no one with less than 800cc's take offence to that. Its just jokes and having a little fun at my own expence as much as anything.. My point here, is to say that I get it when you say that rarely does anyone need more than 500cc's for 90% of riding conditions.. Just made me laugh when it hit me how slow I'm actually going most of the time..
