Breaking News Update: Short shifting the z600 @ 6000 rpm vs: 7500 rpm picked up 3 mph to make 60mph in the 1/4 mile ( .....and, keeps my oil cap from popping off instantly spewing one quart oil everywhere )

You're carrying more than the backpack (side pipes, hood snorkel [it's more than a scoop!], 'roo bar, etc., so your performance is probably "better 'n new."

Automatics - for those who consider a car as a means to get from point A to point B with the least fuss.
Hybrids - for thos e who hat e machinery.
Neither group
considers driving an art form .

[microcar-minicar] Honda z 600 1/4 mile blast
Never actually made 60 mph in a 1/4 mile. haha! But it runs so much better ! This Micro Muscle Honda z600 struts it's stuff. It now does 0-57 mph in 22 seconds and 1/4 mile which is what magazines tested z600's when new back in 1972. I was having a hard time getting to a ridiculous 47 mph in a 1/4 mile a few months ago. Feels much stronger now. My oil cap popped off just after shutting down the camera video, oil smoke poured in through the vents. I thought I blew it up. I live another day
