Oh nice... My wife (yep she's nuts too) had a '92 CBR-400RR, sorta like a 
mini-blade, with gear driven cams... loved the sound!

Been there, GSX-R750R superbike, back straight at manfield race track, 
pulling some silly RPM in 5th at the 50m board, pop out of the bubble, and 
brake (gotta love carbon-carbon stoppers!)  Afterwards when I told the 
mechanic what gear and revs I was doing he worked it out to something like 
255km/h (close to 160mph) yikes!

Love that... average, pre-programmed lemming cage drivers have NO IDEA what 
power is :)  I took a local rally driver for a ride on my 1100, and he was 
blown away with the stopping power... oh and the 120mph wheelie :)
