The general public just go blank when I say 'Yamaha Fazer thousand', so now when they ask, I just say 'black and about 160mph' and follow it up with, 'of course I've done 160 on it! Do you really think I bought it to just pootle around?'
Come to think of it, the last time I hit a high top speed on the Fazer, I got to 165ish sandwiched between 9 Ferraris as we whistled past Maranello on the Autoroute in Italy. I missed the turn off for the Ferrari factory by about 20 miles . . . That was one of those memories that you bank for when you're wearing slippers in the old folks home! Epic trip, that.
