Back in my young and dumb days, I had a CBR1100XX Blackbird that I once explored the upper speed range capabilities of. After slacking off of the throttle and coasting for what seemed like forever while tucked behind the windshield, I "felt" like my speed had slowed enough to relieve myself of the tightly crouched posture and lifted my torso up above the windshield. That was an eye opening experience as it damn near ripped me off the bike. After managing to get back down behind the windshield, the speedo was just coming down off of triple digits. That made a believer out of me about the power of airspeed if any part of your body is not behind the fairing on a motorcycle.
