| It will do it & without much buzzing but I'd probably go to a 16 tooth sprocket. The problem will be the deafening wind noise this bike makes at that speed.

| I have ridden at 120km per hour on long trips as a normal freeway speed or speed on good 2 lane roads (this is with full luggage and camping gear-see picture). This has been no problem for the bike and my after market windscreen means no buffetting at this speed. The other aspect of this is that I still have power to pass. My longest day of 850 miles was done with lots of hours at this speed on I-90 in Montana, Idaho, and Washington. The most confidence inspiring part of a trip was 50 miles on I-90 at 110km per hours in heavy rain....very heavy rain. I had to ride at this speed to keep from being passed by large trucks and drown in their spray.
I have Anakees and they were great. |
