FAST!!!!!! My 2006 is like a rocket. I came across a nitro corvette and I barely kept up but he was a bit speedier than me. I was surprised to keep up as much as I was. On a rare occassion, I will buzz up to 120 with ease before I bring it back down and I wasn´t close to full throttle. The bike is smooth the whole way and no shakes or vibrations what-so-ever!!!! Speedometer goes to 150 and I wouldn´t doubt I could do it. It leans beautifully into curves! I love my 2006 Concours 1000!!!! NO REGRETS! It gets pretty good when the only thing you worry about at high speeds is) tire blowouts!
