happy cruisin at 90 mph.This 9 is rockin with this Drummer. My license is in jeopardy, the sound comin' out of this thing is worth the 50 years. The 12s got the monster torque, wonderin' if that long stroke likes a steady 90 mph ?

Ditto what everyone else said.
The 12 is good at high speed cruising. I like it better than the 9 for that cause you can maintain a nice cruising speed (80-90 mph)at lower rpm.

Was on my way back from a track day about 2 hours away.
Met up with an older Buell (S3T maybe).
Anyway, he was cruising with a chic on the back.
When he saw me, he suddenly had a heavy wrist, and gained to about 115mph.
We were running above 110 for a few min until slowing to 90+ for the rest of the trip.
My damn Jardine sure is loud at that speed but no problems...

The 12 will run 100+ all day long, no problems.

you will need to stop for fuel every 80 or 90 minutes, but the bike LOVES to cruise at 90. will literally do it all day.
