The guy says that the SR/F feels extremely stable and secure at high speeds compared to his DSR. The rest is mostly about how he keeps missing the Autobahn exits because he is going too fast :-)

Does it say how much charge he used on his ride?

[zugvogel]

no, but if you take a look at the display you can see how the battery bar is much lower at the end. No surprise since at that speed a naked bike has the wind resistance of an umbrella in a storm...

Even when he is not doing 120mph, he is still cruising at 90-100mph...
Man, I miss the unrestricted German Autobahn....

Yes, riding over your head is hilarious, haha...oh wait shit I can't stop or steer the bike *CRASH*

Presumably the thing about missing exits is a joke but if not that's sad.

I noticed he didn't spend much time at top speed. I wonder how long the bike gives full power.  I think I read that the sustained maximum power is half the maximum.  Sustained maximum speed might be around 100mph?

I'd also love to see a high speed run at low SoC.

I hope we'll be able to read the logs from the SRF.  It's always surprising how soon the power gets cut back at lower charge levels, in cold weather and so on.  As always, there are lies, damn lies and statistics!

I still want one, very much! [emoji4]

I'd also love to see a high speed run at low SoC.

When I did my second SR/F demo, I started with 56% and ran it down to 22% in 20 miles or so. 

At 27%, I jumped back on the highway and hammered it one more time.  It pulled strong up 97 mph which is as fast as I could get to before I ran up on the back of the cars.  I was impressed how much power it still had at 27%.

The SR/F is a cool bike.  The only thing I didn't like about it was the ride position and how fast the battery went down.

Good for him.
