I have but only once. It was a bit scary and even though it was smooth I think it's a bit dangerous oh this style of bike. I even had it up to near 125 with a 240 pound passenger on the back and it was still very stable and smooth. It's just an awesome bike. But remember the speedo is probably more than 5 mph of at 130 mph.

Why are you carrying a 240 lb. passanger, Toby ? I bet that made your front end lighten up. The girls I try to pick up USUALLY weigh less than that.
Just wanted to test what this bike was capable of and all I felt was a slight lag in acceleration. The front end stayed down just fine but if I would have tried to see how fast I could get off the line I think the results would have been catastrophic :eek:

I have pegged mine out a few times we have lots of hills here, easy to do down hill.

I also sorta laid her down today. doing about 5 mph up a gravel road with a steep incline and deep ruts. I was going to see a potential house. I let the clutch get away from me, grabbed the brakes, and scraped the bottom belt guard a little.

Gravel and our bike is a bithc.

First and only time I hit the rev limiter was in first gear shortly after I got it racing a Harley on a freeway on ramp but still flew by him by the time I hit 50 mph. Had to look bake to make sure he wasn't on a moped. :eek:

I've pegged it a couple of times with the stock rear tire & I pegged it with my 240 rear tire this week. It's amazing how smooth the Stryker runs.
With the Stryker's rev limiter set to about half the rpms of the other bike I ride I've hit the rev limiter a few times.
