After thinking about it , I can’t disagree with Mad in principle.
What I am actually thinking is WTF ( as in who da fk) should care?
Its always been said don’t lug Harley’s .
It’s always been said dont rev the piss out of ricers and everything else. Of course I been riding b4 rev limiters .
But everyone here has been riding for years . I don’t know or even particularly care how you treat your bikes while riding . Your bikes, your ride.
Stay rubber down! That’s all that matters.
Idk this articles author or what makes him the throttle police . So Fk Him!

I like that term. It describes exactly why I got rid of my Ninjette and Royal Enfield.
The Ninjette always sounded like I was ringing its neck to get off the line and the RE sounded and felt like I was over-reving when taking it over 55mph. The vibration in the pegs felt like I was redlining at any speed over 60mph.

I typically keep my big twin Harley’s in the 2500-3500 RPMs  range with an occasional 4000 when laying on it.
My Sportster motors don’t start waking up until 3200 RPMs and I’ll run them up to 6000 or so regularly.
When I’m playing Rossi wannabe the Buell will see redline which is 7500.

thats interesting since i didnt get that impression at all riding a RE 500 test ride.
it was surprisingly zippy and somewhat smooth. i admit not taking it up much over 60 lol.

I think that is Arlen Ness’s double Sportster motor bike called Double Trouble.  
One of his early builds.

Maybe. But what looks like a trans end cover looks like a later part.

It’s true the frame looks vintage ness .

I dig the slo-mo action.  Gives a nice long look at happy faces.

How is your sidecar rig?
