I'm not what you would call a light weight by any means ( I am working on it )
I do ride slower than i used to , I admit that, and rarely see 80 mph any longer.
I know a place for those kinds of speeds and higher, it's called a race track .
Just too many variables on public roads for me to feel comfortable much more than 5 mph over the posted limit. I also find that I can keep my driving privlege if I motor along at that pace.
My trips are shorter these day for sure, age and infirmity ,or is it age and wisdom, I forget.
As for more power, under the right conditions and the right place I still like more HP , speed does not bother me in the least. It's the sudden stop that worries me.
