That's one thing I've noticed as well. The Dak is deceptively fast. Numerous times I've dialed up 65 or 75 MPH down city streets (oops...<GRIN>) and never really felt like I was going that fast. Smooth, quiet, comfortable. It's actually somewhat disappointing, since there is nothing quite like the feeling of a hand in the middle of your back powering you forward.

Just out of curiousity Ryan.....what's yer driveline setup. I've got a
3.55 stick and mine cut off at 115. I agree though.....if ya didn' t look
at the speedo you'd think you were doing 60 as smooth as it was.
