I know the feeling

Ok,,, that is how some of us drive but most do not. I have seen some folks have an 8000 rpm red line and shift at 5000 when they are on it. As far as the Daily driver goes,,, most folks are under 5250 rpm most of the time.
I still remember my 2 stroke Kawi street bike from way back. It would spool like a MoFo.

Oasis,

My best opinion is go T-4. And Dave would be my choice to build the engine. Great guy with great attention to detail. :agree:

Even though I'm going Suby, I don't hate aircooleds. I'll probably stay with an Aircooled in my '72 standard when I GL it.. someday.

Just my 2cent.
