I love sogs, I probably would still be doing them if I didn't have such a limited plant number count. It was the easiest way to hit a gram per Watt in such a short time. I really miss sogs

Doobie, how fast does a 300 go? Can it cruise at 70 or so? I'd love to get one someday, it seems a lot lighter and I might be able to handle something like that with out hurting my back too much, is it pretty decent on bumps, like to the shocks take most of the impacts or is it really jolty?

I've seen vids where some guys have theirs up to 120mph (194kph).
Some are in the 113mph (183kph) to 117mph (191kph).
No land rocket, but you lose your license and have your vehicle impounded past a certain point above the posted limit anyways.
It'll cruise 70mph all day long :-)
If you have more than 34-inch inseam, it might feel cramped in the legs.
Fits my 32-inch inseam snugly.
All the youtube reviewers said it was a very upright seating position, and I'm sure compared to a 600RR supersport bike it is very upright, but to me it is a little too low in the bars for my bad wrists, so I'm going to get some 2" handlebar risers to see if it helps.
And the seat is stiff.
A softer seat is a must.
It's a little stiff over bumps, but really not too bad (I have a bad back in 3 places: lower lumbar, upper lumbar, and the C5/C6)., but it seems to be no problem so far.
Mostly the discomfort is in my wrists & bumcakes.
Where it is very jolty is in it's compression braking (throttle-off deceleration). It's got a lot of engine braking power, especially in 1st gear.
I'm going to start experimenting with starting out in 2nd gear instead of 1st gear, and will replace the stock front gear with a larger, 15-tooth gear to stretch the gearing out about 6% and make 1st gear more usable in city driving.

I should also point out, regarding my wrist discomfort with the bike is partly due to spraining both wrists 2 days before taking possession of the bike.
I think I also cracked the radius bone of my left fore arm.
So for others, it might not feel as uncomfortable when driving it around town in traffic.
