Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I was looking for something that used to get published in the old Cycle World magazines with the redline speed per gear. I looked down after pulling away strong from a stop and coming out of second I was at about 43mph, around 54 coming out of third (still pulling hard). I slowed back to 45 as it was the posted speed..

OK, I still have the test that included the '79 850, so I will try to find it and scan it this evening.Thanks Steve, Unfortunately, I do not have a tach.
It was the "Shaft-Drive Shootout", I think it was the June, 1979 issue of Cycle magazine.
EDIT: Oops, it was Motorcyclist, not Cycle.

There's a lot of hills in Boston, with a following wind I could see you braking out of the theoretical, possibly moving into the astrophysical. Try Heartbreak hill when they aren't running

Those may be correct, but I see in your post that they are for a SIX fifty, not an EIGHT fifty. :-k
Regardless, they are remarkably similar.
Anyway, here is the page that lists the speeds in the test I mentioned earlier. Because this was a comparison test, not an individual bike evaluation, they did not get as detailed with all the graphs like you mentioned, they just listed the numbers.
