I'm not trying to dog you, especially since you bought a great bike (I now own a 99 Suzuki SV650), but I'm not sure I believe you were going 80 in first gear. In second gear, I would believe you going 80, although the engine would be screaming pretty loud. My friend's 2000 YZF does 90 in THIRD gear, but he's also creeping on redline. I guess I just don't feel like 1st gear on a CBR 600 is geared that tall. Anyway, like I said I'm not trying to call you out or anything, I'm just skeptical about the reality vs. perception in your story. Regardless, congrats on the bike purchase - ride responsibly and enjoy. I'd highly recommend the Rider Safety course if it's offered in your state.
