I have a Yamaha Apex and a Yamaha FZ1, which shares the same engine. I have done top speed runs on both: dreamometer 126 & 185 (actual ~105 & 155) respectively.
Why is it that 100+ on a sled feels like I am flying yet cruising at 100 on the bike is nothing? but if I go 65 on my wr450f I am about to s*** my pants. All these feel stable at those speeds though. Is it the wind on my body? or height off of the ground? Just wondering if its just me or if other people feel the same way. On all 3 of the machines, at their top speed, the sled FEELS like I am going the fastest
