my take on this, from your statement about "passing cars on a 2 lane highway", is you already have the best you can get.. just start using that left foot... on the shifter... and you will find it is way more feasible.

I am guilty of "pressing" the MRP I have now, to "roll on voraciously" in a gear or 2 lower than I ever would have done pre-flash.. just because it works.. but when you go back, and click down a gear or 2 ... well... I can't say anything other than hang on... it ain't needing anything more than it has NOW...
I actually considered the "hammer", and talked in depth with Bubba about it, he knows me, and knows the roads and riding style I love, and convinced me the "hammer" was really not the perfect "flash for me", and he was right... MRP with some 93+ octane, and a gear shift, does everything and "MORE" for the bike, in my eyes. But then I've never ever been a "below 4k rpm" "loach the bike" rider.. when I ride, I love to make the engine do it's thing.. rpm's are a passion... and now I can use them fully.. I think... still have not done a "redline pull" to see the top end, but it has surpassed my limits of "pucker" repeatedly.... which makes me smile.
So when I come up behind a car, on a 2 lane road, doing the 50-55 mph speed limit, and flip to the left lane, and downshift and peg this bike... within 5 seconds I'm at/over 3 times the speed limit. What reason would I have to say it needs a dual flash????
YMMV..... :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :great: :beerchug:
Oh, and on my '08 non-eco mode bike.. spending a "short ride" cranking it up... and seeing this..
I can't say I need a Hammer... gas gauge and readouts don't lie...
I need to do a ride with the gauges set at "actual mpg use" during acceleration, for a mini ride...now that I have my MRP; flip your screen and see how much fuel/milage you get under repeated hard starts and "corner to corner" drag racing riding... Like "MAX accell" first thru third, and hard braking to stop from the "120+mph you easily hit each time" .. I used to do that.. and when I was reading things like 4 to 8 mpg... I stopped looking at that screen..

edit to add;
That gauge setting was from a fill up, where I zero'd the gauges.. at 6 p.m., and rode a route I used to ride back in my younger years, rural, not flat, up/down/twisty, and some nice long straights.. where I earned my first 130mph "performance award"... followed by a few others, all on my old KZ1k. I'm sure that judge I went before at that time, is now long dead. So I let 'r rip on those same roads today.. I shot that pic when the bike was cold, after my ride... 2 hours from initial start. (I didn't ride for 2 hours... get it?)
