[QUOTE="Old Guy Too Many Bikes, post: 192469, member: 15440"] Howdy, I've got 3 little Hondas right now, and have been souping up, and riding these things for over 40 years, and I still don't understand this obsession with top speed. I gear my bikes with long legs and use top gear as a cruising overdrive. For example, my 110cc CT70 is geared to top out at about 45-48, although it could have been geared to hit 55+. But It cruises nicely at 40-45 all day. If there's a hill, I just downshift going up, and going down, I know I won't blow it up going 55. Obviously, it's not as quick off the line, but to me it's a small price to pay in the interest of longevity. I also run 120/90-10 tires and my chain slightly rubs the sidewall of the rear tire. After several hundred miles, there's a pattern that has been etched onto it. I'd like to know if you run into the same issue. ( my rims are slightly wider than stock.) [/QUOTE]
