[QUOTE="HondaCBX6, post: 18009, member: 626"] If you only ride in a 50% PE that would mean you will not go more than 50% of top speed? 75MPH? Any faster is too fast for you? 50% RPM? 50% braking? 50% of your tire tread? I try to use 100% of my tire (when the conditions are right). There is enough traction in modern tire to hold well beyond the posted sugested corner speeds. As a general rule of thumb the FJR will easily handle twice the speed of any corner posted. You have to really TRY to get to the edge of the tire. It is possible and FUN! I would also say that if you are near the edge of the tire you are at 85% of the bikes capabilities. And depending on the rider it may be at 110%! I won't ride with some people. And I can not keep up with others. I pick my pace and sometimes the roads and conditions come together to have a chicken strip-less good time! :o ) John "Life is Dangerous" [/QUOTE]
