Likely didn't publish it, and don't recall (or care) but 1 season later I traded the GA for the "B" series, same bike, but didn't have a Tour Pack, a year newer programming and a higher speed limiter. I had that bike to 125 before shutting the throttle down. For a touring bike, there was nothing quicker on the road when you spun up that 6 cylinder. I won't sell that bike short, it would make you hang on and your **** pucker.
In the end it wasn't a fit for the type of riding I really wanted to do, which the RG is perfectly suited for.

The license plate frame on my 1100 Interceptor, “Life begins at 170”.

I enjoy the sights now, the adrenaline then.

My Bad.
Let me clarify:
"For a touring bike, There was nothing quicker on the road when you spun up that 6 cylinder".

I've never heard of an interceptor, but a 170 mph tourer?
