    Sad huh??!! I also have only gotten up to about 120 on the Glide...but when I was 20 years younger, 10ft tall, and bullet proof....that Kawi Ninja 600R would really HAUL!!!! 155+ (but less then 160) was where both myself AND my buddie (the passenger) decided to chicken out.......bike had a bit more...not sure how much more, but still had a little throttle and a few RPMs before redline in 6th gear!

    Yamaha has a optional semi-automatic transmission on their FJR1300 Sport touring bike. They call it YCC-S - Yamaha Chip Controlled-Shift system, which uses a computer controlled clutch, but still allows the rider to shift with a push button trigger on the handlebars. The bike is also loaded with all the comfort options like ABS, heated grips, adjustable seat, electrically adjusted windshield, etc. It'll run 150+ if you want. :cool:
    Still...it's not a Harley.

    The Pingel "Easy Shift" kits are decent, too. But you still have to use the the clutch when you start and stop. Also, they take some effort to get them adjusted and keep them shifting smoothly.
