You can keep one of these rockets at 60 mph or below during break in. Or might I say, it takes a much better man than I to do so.  Put 225 miles on it today and I can say without a doubt this is the best bike I've ever had the pleasure of riding. It eats miles up like they're nothing and begs for more. Heck, the wind was blowing, sustained over 30 mph and gusts of 48, temps in the mid 40's and I just couldn't get enough. It was windy, it was cold and my cheeks hurt from grinning so much.  I bought the 1125r on a whim. If the price hadn't been cut so drastically, I would probably have never known how fantastic a bike Erik and the Elves produced. | ||

Oh my bad, I thought it was 160mph to keep it under. so I only hit 140 before I had 50 miles on mine. | ||

Yeah buddy.. I kept mine under 6k rpm the for the 20 mile ride home 3 weeks ago.. and now mine has been in the shop ever since.. See what that got me??! Take it from the guys above.. rip and roar right from the get go. : ) | ||

Oh please! You Can keep the 1125's under 60 - in first gear! After that, all bets are off! A little over 300 miles on my CR and 85 mph at break in r's is fun. 140 and 160 - holy shit - I guess your roads are a hell of a lot better than the Florida crap! | ||
| Cafefun |
Not all of are roads we pick where we go that fast! Bad thing is when I'm going 140 my buddies blow by me like I'm in reverse on there Busa's | ||
| Vicfirebolt |
where does it say keep it under 60 its under 6000 rpm. | ||
| Bwbueller |
so how fast would you be going in 6th gear at 6k? | ||
| Cafefun |
Rough guess 90 to 100 | ||

On a CR, 6th gear at 6k is about 90mph. I was there several times today on my first break-in riding... | ||
| Drewpy |
bought it, signed the papers, hit the highway within 2 miles of the dealer and 140+ right to the twisties... bike has ran great | ||

I bought the demo model. I was told the "Motoman break in has already been performed".  | ||
| Leroysch |
so how fast would you be going in 6th gear at 6k? 100mph on the 1125R. Visited there today.  | ||

Mtuly, looks like we have a lot in common! I can't stay off mine either. I never tried to stay under 60mph, just stayed under 6K as best I could. So my answer to the the "What's the speed in 6th @ 6K was 100-102 on my 09R" ... Not that I actually did that - I only read it on the internet  Now that I can wind up to 7.5K, I wonder what the speed is in 6th at 7,500 revs. Anybody else know?
