My pal and I have '06 G11s registered here in the UK within a few weeks of each other. Both with around 9 - 10k miles on the clock. We're about the same weight and the only difference apart from his being black and mine yellow, is that I'm running a Termi with no db killer, he's on stock.
On our occasional forays into mainland Europe we run an occasional roll on alongside each other, from a round 40/50 mph in second. All the way up to somewhere around 120 mph in top on occasions. The bikes are pretty even.
Two questions. To have the best chance of putting one over on him:
- At what rpm do I want to hook the next gear?
- At what point precisely does the rev limiter kicking in?
I'm currently watching closely and shifting just shy of 8k. If you hit the limiter it's like opening the chute - he's just gone.
