Just did over 200 miles yesterday, 100+ each way to and from work. It wasn't super comfortable, not that I expected it to be but overall wasn't too bad. Speed limit is 70 majority of the way, I stayed around 80(according to speedo) most of the time which had my tach at about 9.5 - 10k. I did top it out going down a slight decline in full tuck early in the morning when the road was empty, hit 100-ish mph, redlined. Return trip was super windy but staying calm is key in those situations so nothing exciting IMO. Oil looks healthy through sight-glass but is too new to change so I'll have to wait to check filter, curious about it from recent shim job I did also. I pray I did no damage staying at those higher RPM's for such a long time, I finished the ride on surface streets and had all the power I had beforehand and everything sounded/felt great soooo fingers crossed!!!
